From what I listened to, this was a fascinating novel. I can only sleep with noise at the moment, so an audiobook is the perfect way to fall asleep, especially since you can set it up specifically to go off any time between 5 minutes and an hour.

However, there are major issues. Obviously this is a new app/new idea, etc. But the audiobook glitches out quite significantly, so the story ends up being told in a non-linear fashion and you miss chapters, etc. And yet, with the chapter titles not have names/headings, you don't know what you've missed. I listened to a good 20% of the audiobook and loved it - the narrator was fantastic, but when I started it again the next morning, I had gone back to a chapter I hadn't already listened to, even though I was further into the book.

So overall, this is a fantastic story for what I've listened to so far, however I won't be able to continue until Netgalley sorts out the glitches as it makes the story too confusing in my head.

My first audiobook from NetGalley, I really enjoyed it. It did take a while to download and there were some minor bugs in the app as to be expected with a brand new app, however I thought the narrator was worth the wait and the glitches. She clearly made the differences to help the reader distinguish between the characters. Her voice clear and she read the words beautifully.
The writing flowed beautifully, catching the lives of three women, their friendships and relationships. Each given a voice on their very imperfect worlds. The book starts with the murder of Nancy and progresses with Ellie and Mary not only dealing with their own lives but working their way through the reason why their friend was murdered.

Imperfect Women fell flat for me - it seems I just can't catch a break with books recently. It felt predictable (unlike Our Kind of Cruelty). The title was perfect for these imperfect characters, but I just couldn't connect to any of them and found myself rolling my eyes at times. I will continue to read Hall's work, but I hope the next one is more of a grabber.

It took so long for this to appear on my netgalley shelf app and then it took forever to download . This was my first experience of an audio book and i just couldn't follow it. Although from what I did hear I would love to read this in print!

Very good Audiobook, the narrator is gripping, clearly distinguishes the characters without annoying voices.

Sadly I found the app frustrating (but I have reported this) It stops when your phone screen times out and honestly too many times it would skip back 2 or 3 chapters, which was hard to track due the chapters not having names yet so it took me a long time to get through the book!

This was such a haunting psychological thriller, brilliantly written and unsettling from the outset. This was a harrowing account of mental and physical domestic abuse and I felt a lot of compassion for these characters. I loved how this story gave the perspectives of 3 middle-aged women, all flawed in their own way and with completely different versions of their truth.

This narrator had an excellent grasp of the tone of the story and their reading style pushed the story forward and made me want to keep reading. Their voice was distinct enough to differentiate between characters.

A very interesting thiller with a twist I didn't see coming. This book follows three friends one of whom has recently been killed. The police believe she was killed by her jelous lover with whom she was trying leave. All theough the book you see how 'imperfect' all three women are as the identity of the deceaeds lover is revelaed. Over all it is a well though out and intreguing read even if the plot lacks a little in logic at certian points.

Imperfect women by Araminta Hall.
Very good. I listened to this on the new netgalley app. Good story but I didn't like the characters. They were moany. 4*.

Nancy, Eleanor and Mary are university friends. They’ve been there for each other over the years. Then one night after a meal with the girls Nancy is murdered. As Eleanor and Mary try to uncover what happened on that evening. We discover Nancy was having an affair. She was going to end it. So who killed her? Her lover? Or did her husband know what was going on and was he responsible.
As we go on the journey of discovery, hidden secrets come out of the woodwork to discover that no one is perfect.
This book held my attention throughout. The narrator of the audiobook was engaging.
Many thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the arc in return for an honest review
