Happy publication day!! I preordered this when I saw AJ Cook post about being part of this project to her IG story & totally forgot about it。 Super happy I preordered it because this was a wonderful surprise to find in my audible account today! I was immediately gripped & addicted from the start。 That opening scene was perfectly written & performed。 All I can keep thinking to myself is, “WOW!” Easiest 5 stars I have ever given out。This 4 hour audiobook is worth every second of your time。 Lucinda Happy publication day!!

Lucinda 🤩!!! Lucinda did not miss the mark on her new novella! She didn’t wait to jump right into the story with the unbearable weight of terror screaming from the main characters。 There wasn’t as much action in One of Our Own as in her preceeding novels, but fortunately in true Berry fashion, this book was just as fast-moving and kept my attention hooked throughout。 Despite the sensitive topics that were addressed such as suicidal thoughts/ideation, suicide, grief, and sexual assault, this was Lucinda 🤩!!!

As always, I love Lucinda’s writing style-her authenticity & deeply honest content that immediately sucks you in right from the start and doesn’t let up until the very last page。 Thank you to my favorite author, Lucinda Berry, for bringing us readers another 5 ⭐️ book!

This is my first Lucinda berry book and I wasn’t disappointed! Although I guessed half way through, I’m okay with that。 I definitely enjoyed it more with it being audible

This is a perfect audiobook。 Quick, engaging, and has you at the edge of your seat the entire time。 I love Lucinda's writing, and this audiobook did not disappoint。 I listened to it in less than a day because I needed to know what happened。 If you are not usually an audiobook person, try this audiobook out。 You will not be disappointed。 Also, A。J。 Cook did an amazing job in this narration!

First of all, I just love A。J。 Cook’s voice, so I was so excited to know she was one of the narrators。 Regarding the story itself, it was great! It kept me second guessing everything。 The ending, wow, I was suspicious but was hesitant to believe it was true。 Lucinda Berry’s writing is just the best!!

Can't sing enough praises for this book!One call can change everything! When Felicia answered that fatal call she didn't know that all her life would be flipped upside down! One of the $uicide prevention hotline rules is: do not share personal information。 Felicia broke that rule and gained the callers' trust which led to a heartbreaking turnaround!I am sad that this is not a printed book as I would buy it for my collection! It is seriously good! 。。。more

If you haven't read a Lucinda Berry book you need to! Her books mess with your psyche so much, they make you question life and your choices, and always make you think What Would You Do? This book was no exception。 What would you do, if you worked for a suicide prevention hotline and receive a call, about a girl who just wanted to end things, because a horrific thing happened to her and it got recorded and sent all through the high school? What would you do when she tells you her high schools nam If you haven't read a Lucinda Berry book you need to!

What would you do when she tells you her high schools name, and your child also attends that school? Not having any other information and not being allowed to step in, but would you? Of course it wouldn't be a Lucinda Berry book without some amazing twists! This is a short book at regular speed less than 4 hours to listen to this book, and even with how short it is, it wasn't missing anything, I felt like I listened to a full novel。 Of course the narrators did an amazing job as well helping bring this story to life and make you feel like this is real。 。。。more

Another devastating book by the queen, Lucinda Berry。 My heart is broken。 😭💔😪😵 5🌟

Another amazing book from Lucinda Berry。 It was a such a quick intense read。 I feel like I need therapy after these books lol but can't stop reading them。 I love how your books make me think about different scenarios from various perspectives。 I too thought being a good parent would be enough。 I can't even imagine being in this mother's shoes。 I can't wait for the next book of yours。 Another amazing book from Lucinda Berry。 It was a such a quick intense read。 I feel like I need therapy after these books lol but can't stop reading them。 I love how your books make me think about different scenarios from various perspectives。 I too thought being a good parent would be enough。 I can't even imagine being in this mother's shoes。 I can't wait for the next book of yours。 。。。more

This production was so good。 I may be biased because I really like AJ Cook but whatever 😭 although I knew where this was going, the story was still GOOD。 As a woman, as a parent, as a SA survivor, I felt all the feels listening to this。 My heart broke at the end but I enjoyed this so much。 This is only avail in audiobook and when you listen, you’ll understand why。 Tessa understood the assignment and she executed her role perfectly along side AJ Cook。 I need more audiobook productions like THIS 🔥

This book wrecked me。 Amazing writing as always, by Lucinda Berry

Rachel Gray

This is the most well executed audiobook I have ever read!! The emotions in the voices and the way it pulls ur emotions in is unheard of in a traditional audiobook! Lucinda Berry out does herself every single time!

Ashley

If you’re looking for something heart pounding with twists and turns, you’re going to be disappointed。 This one is slow and fairly predictable but that’s what I LIKE about it。 You know where it’s going and as a mother, it’s gut wrenching。 Lucinda Berry is fantastic at pulling at those maternal fears and heartstrings。 And as an audiobook, this was very well produced。

Breathtaking。 Lucinda Berry outdoes herself with ONE OF OUR OWN。 Being an attorney, Felicia should have known better than to give her personal phone number to one of the callers at the helpline where she volunteers。 Her personal history, similar to Chloe’s blurred the boundaries for Felicia in ways she doesn’t anticipate。 I’m surprised she was allowed to continue to volunteer after the ethical breech。 But I digress。I thought Berry was going in a predicament direction, hoping she wouldn’t。 Tensio Breathtaking。 Lucinda Berry outdoes herself with ONE OF OUR OWN。 Being an attorney, Felicia should have known better than to give her personal phone number to one of the callers at the helpline where she volunteers。 Her personal history, similar to Chloe’s blurred the boundaries for Felicia in ways she doesn’t anticipate。 I’m surprised she was allowed to continue to volunteer after the ethical breech。 But I digress。I thought Berry was going in a predicament direction, hoping she wouldn’t。 Tension continued to increase in ONE OF OUR OWN to its thrilling conclusion。 。。。more

Loved this book! So many strong emotions!

Oriana Peterson

First off, I will listen to any book A。J。 Cook from Criminal Minds narrates。 She is fantastic!!! Second, absolutely nothing in this story was a surprise。 Zero twists which I was not expecting for a Lucinda Berry considering everyone talks about her books being wild and dark。 The plot of the book covered a tough subject and was done well。 Short audiobook if you want to get through a book quickly (only 4 hours!)。
