Audiobook Review: Kiss, Marry, Kill
When three best friends and founders of a health and wellness app on the verge of hitting the big time play a spin on the game of “kiss, marry, kill” at their company’s summer outing, they wake up the next morning in an alternate universe to discover they’ve each done just that.
Kiss: In the “real world,” quiet, indecisive Aubrey is heartbroken over things ending with her fiancé. In the new reality ushered in by the game, Aubrey finds herself in bed, naked, next to their company’s newly hired graphic designer.
Marry: Practical, straight-laced Ilena, on the brink of a divorce following a stressful struggle with infertility, wakes up six months pregnant and married to their company’s general counsel.
Kill: Mallory’s philosophy is to ask neither forgiveness nor permission. Yet the reckless behavior of their biggest investor crosses lines even Mallory didn’t know she had. Especially since she’s been secretly sleeping with him for the past year. She’s mad enough to kill. But in this world, he’s already dead.
Told alternately from the perspectives of these three best friends, this Sliding Doors-esque story explores the nuances of ambition, the power of female friendship, and the many facets of love in our lives, ultimately asking: Do our choices define us, or do we define our choices?
My Review
I listened to the audiobook version of this book. Narrator, Victoria Villarreal does a very good job of voicing the audiobook. It is largely due to her voice that I enjoyed listening. She made each character stand out both feminine and masculine characters.
I thought this was a fun concept for this book. I think all readers have played at one point or another in their lives...kiss, marry, kill. Yet, I have to be honest that I never imagined that it really could become reality.
For Aubrey, Ilena and Mallory, they learn what happens when you play the game. To be honest, I was not overly attached to any one of the three women but at the same time I thought they shared a good relationship. It was intriguing to see how they started to how they ended. Overall, this is a good book. A fast read.
