I couldn't listen to this one can horny figure out how to listen,didn't have problems with the other one!

OVERALL- an engaging and enjoyable thriller with lots of twist and turns!
REVIEW- this was a very good, in-depth and complicated thriller, it kept you on your toes throughout and cast the net of suspicion very wide. I enjoyed it being narrated from his and hers point of view - you were never quite sure who’s version of events to believe. I thought the main characters Anna and Jack were very believable and very engaging to me the reader and although they did bad things you were still rooting for them which is a complement to the author. The locations were all well set and believable and had just the right amount of everything. The story, although a very typical thriller theme, I still thought it was done very cleverly and worked well especially the twisty ending.
But it wasn’t without its faults which is why it didn’t reach 5⭐️ for me. While initially I enjoyed the philosophical approach to the narration from both his and hers point of view by three quarters of the way through it got a bit tedious and made the book drag a little and I felt a bit like some of the scenes were just book bulking and it was time to get on with it. It took a bit of a pull to get me back into it but by the last chapters I did and they were excellent so just a minor little niggle to an overall excellent read.

This novel is just s.o. i.n.s.a.n.e.l.y. t.w.i.s.t.e.d. I listened to it in a day. The narration is excellent while the plot gave me chills and thrills and a total shock at the reveal.
The title "His & Hers" is a dark twist on the cute lovey-dovey inscriptions, but in this case, those are the points of view in a dark murder mystery in which he & she are actually involved in the case.
First, we have Anna Andrews: a very ambitious career woman, a divorcee with lots of drama and an alcoholic. Anna is flawed, but also very likable. She sacrificed everything to climb the ladder to get her dream job as a BBC reporter, but when the woman who has this job before returns, Anna's position becomes less than secure. So, she is compelled to take a risky murder investigation in a town she grew up in... and buried some secrets.
Second, we meet Jack Harper: another ambitious character with domestic life drama and a tendency to ruin everything in his love life. Jack is the investigator in the same murder case, except... he knows the victim. Intimately. He was actually having sex with her earlier that night. It would be smart to leave his case but... he can't.
And finally, the third point of view is the killer's. Sounds like an easy way to give away the mystery, but Feeney did a great job keeping the killer's anonymity till the end. Not only that, but she also kept dropping conflicting hints at VARIOUS characters, for instance repeated phrases, making it impossible for me to put down this audiobook.
*Thank you to the Publisher for a free advance copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

Wow, I think Alice Feeney has written her best book yet. A story of love and betrayal and revenge is told from two viewpoints his and hers. Tension begins to build from the first page and it doesn't let up until the very end. While the story is told from two viewpoints we also have a third person the narrator, who is obviously the killer. Every time the narrator starts talking about why someone had to die I am convinced I know who the killer is, until the next time when I'm sure it's someone else. I really was not surprised at the ending until I found out it wasn't really the end. This is one book that you won't want to miss.

Holy (insert your choice of expletive here) Moly. This book is literally the definition of the mind blown emoji. This is by far the BEST thriller I have read in 2020. I cannot even explain my thoughts right now because I’m still a little mind blown.
The twists, the turns, the red herrings. All of it was amazing. I usually am pretty good at guessing who did it and why. This book had me guessing until the very end, and I still didn’t guess correctly. Every chapter I felt like a detective trying to solve the case, and I was left with such a satisfying and beautifully executed ending. I went and re-read a few chapters knowing the spoilers that I do now,
and it made the book THAT much better.
At first, I didn’t enjoy the dual perspective chapters. I felt like it was almost repetitive. But, a few chapters in, it made me wonder how the other person was going to react in their chapter and I looked forward to it. It was a clever chapter writing style that paid off in my opinion. It kept me engrossed and helped with character development.
I will say, the journal entries voice distortion was probably the hardest to listen to. I know it’s done intentionally, but it was like nails on a chalkboard to get through those entires. Though, they were the most important.
His & Hers is by far, my favorite thriller of the year. I’ve read many thrillers, but this one takes the cake. Thank you Flatiron Books & NetGalley for the ARC. I will be purchasing this hardback when it comes out as this is a book everyone needs on their bookshelf.
