Chante Ellison and Nola Vance dynamically narrate a thriller that will have listeners wondering who’s playing whom. Ivy’s happy childhood tragically ended when her parents died. Now that she’s in her mid-20s, her difficult life takes a turn when she’s given the name of the woman who destroyed everything: wealthy socialite Lola Maxwell. Ivy befriends Lola, reaps the benefits, and strategically chips away at Lola’s life. Seducing Lola’s husband soon leads Ivy down a twisting path. Vance maintains an angry and sarcastic tone as Ivy, volume rising during outbursts. Ellison narrates the perspective of the Maxwells’ all-seeing household manager, Georgia. Ellison’s rougher, slower voice adds to her portrayal of the older, wiser woman. The sense of wrath builds as Ellison depicts Lola’s mistreatment of others, spitting the words out.
