When I Was You

By: Amber Garza

Narrated by: Vivienne Leheny

“A heart-pounding thriller. When I Was You pitches two women with the same name against one another, and the rug is pulled out from under you the moment you decide to trust one of them.” (Sandie Jones, USA Today best-selling author of The Other Woman)

“Amber Garza has upped the game on the classic stalker novel!... A fast-paced, beautifully plotted book.” (Samantha Downing, USA Today best-selling author of My Lovely Wife)

You meets Fatal Attraction in this up-all-night story of suspicion, obsession, and motherhood.

It all begins on an ordinary fall morning, when Kelly Medina gets a call from her son’s pediatrician to confirm her upcoming "well-baby" appointment. It’s a cruel mistake; her son left for college a year ago, and Kelly’s never felt so alone. The receptionist quickly apologizes: There’s another mother in town named Kelly Medina, and she must have gotten their numbers switched.

For days, Kelly can’t stop thinking about the woman who shares her name. Lives in her same town. Has a son she can still hold, and her whole life ahead of her. She can’t help looking for her: at the grocery store, at the gym, on social media. When Kelly just happens to bump into the single mother outside that pediatrician’s office, it’s simple curiosity getting the better of her.

Their unlikely friendship brings Kelly a renewed sense of purpose - taking care of this young woman and her adorable baby boy. But that friendship quickly turns to obsession, and when one Kelly disappears, well, the other one may know why.

Slow Going and Predictable

This one was mediocre. I found Part I to be slow going and mundane; Part 2 was predictable.

Exciting!

I enjoyed this book a lot. Quite a few interesting plot twists. I would recommend!

Great listen

I listened to When I was You while deep cleaning my kitchen. I was totally absorbed my kitchen has never been this clean!

definitely interesting.

the beginning is a little dry.... but once you get about 2 hours in, the twists keep coming. this story gives off Desperate Housewives vibes, for anyone that remembers that tv show

Worth the listen!

Lots of unexpected twists. Kept me intrigued from the very beginning. I really felt the emotions of the characters, being a boy mom myself. Def recommend it.

The twists!

Honestly, it started a little meh, I was regretting the buy. However, I stuck with it and I thought, oh boy easy plot, yet it wasn't…

So so good

Loved this. Devoured in a day. Was different, made me feel all the feels. I’m excited to discover more from this author

Not bad

I liked the book, at times it felt slow, but I was always ready to turn the page and find out what would happen next. Lots of twists and turns, some predictable, some not. I liked the ending. At times it was hard to tell who’s point of view the story was coming from. The narrators voice got in my nerves at times. But overall I would recommend.

Good read. Suspenseful.

I liked this one. Entertaining and devious. The narration hit the mark as well. Solid 4 stars.

Good Plot

the narrator did a good job but in some areas it was so detailed I was like get on with it already some parts were too drawn out but a good story I enjoyed it
