The Rivals

By: Daniel Hurst

Narrated by: Harriet Dunlop, Deirdra Whelan

A psychological thriller from the bestselling author of The Passenger and Til Death Do Us Part.

Lucy is a successful businesswoman who loves nothing more than to spend her time competing in fun challenges with friends, colleagues, and even strangers. But she might just have met her match when she encounters Jess, a woman who is not used to losing at anything.

Jess is very much like Lucy when it comes to a fondness for competition, only a more extreme version, and as the pair become friends, it's clear that a rivalry is developing between them in the fields of business, love, and beyond.

But as the lives of both women become more intertwined, that rivalry becomes more intense, and by the time it reaches the point of their friendship breaking down, it seems that there is nothing either woman won't do to come out on top.

Two women. Only one winner.

Couldn’t finish

I started the book, stopped it and then came back to it. Unfortunately, as I neared the end of the book, I got the message that I needed to become an audible member. I knew the book was only available until the end of October, so I must have missed the deadline. Very disappointed that I couldn’t finish, though I thought I had another day.

fun and ridiculous!

This book was vey funny and ridiculous at the same time, the two main characters were too much alike. Jess and Lucy took competitiveness to the extreme. These two did some crazy antics in order to do one another. I can’t root for anyone because they both were ridiculous, but I did enjoy reading about them. Another good read by the author and I will be reading more.

Too boring

After listening for 13 chapters and waiting for something to happen, I couldn’t listen anymore. Not is good as his other books.

Deliciously Captivating

I couldn’t believe there was such a term such as toxic discipline until I listened to this book! It enlightened me on the traits of severe competitive personalities and the primal urges compelling such great lengths. I am a fan of Hurst’s work! Clever storytelling!

So much fun!

For someone who always tries to be the best this story was so much fun to read.

Riveting

This was a fun book. I enjoyed the drive of each woman and hearing what they were willing to do to come out victorious. Loved the last twist!

Fun Ride!!

I really enjoy this book. It was a lot of fun to listen to. I was immediately pulled in by the characters and was hooked by the end of chapter 2.

Another great Hurst creation!

Loved the character development 👍👍 these two ladies were absolutely awful. A must read. Keep them coming DH!

Dumb

One of the dumbest books I’ve ever listened to…so glad I didn’t have to pay for it

Terrible
