Usually I don't enjoy audiobooks with multilple narrators but in this case it really worked!
Mainly because this family drama evolves through different family members.
To be honest I am not too much into YA but I think that adding a teenager's perspective rounded this twisted story up perfectly.
As one can expect from Nicola Marsh the story is fast paced, takes plenty -but not too many- twists and turns which makes this an enjoyable domestic thriller!
As mentioned before the narration by Jodie Harris; Nikki Thomas and Andrew Cutcliffe fit the characters excellently!
Thank you #NetGalley #Dreamscape Media | Dreamscape First for this audiobook

Our Perfect Family is a twisty family drama that was entertaining throughout. It did have some highs and lows, but it managed to keep my attention until the end. It was told through multiple POV’s and past and present timelines which I really enjoyed. It made the book more engaging and helped keep me intrigued.

The characters were truly hard to love, which made it hard to root for any of them. The plot was fast paced but it was pretty predictable. There are a few twists throughout and I had the majority figured out. I still ended up enjoying it.

Overall, it is a fast paced domestic drama that is easily bingeable and entertaining. Perfect for a light, easy weekend suspenseful read.

🎧 The narration by Jodie Harris, Nikki Thomas & Andrew Cutcliffe was fun. I had a blast listening to the multiple cast narrators. I loved their Australian accents, it was really nice. They each played their parts well, and conveyed the emotions perfectly. Fun listen !

✨️Thank you to @netgalley, @dreamscapemedia & Nicola Marsh for my gifted ALC in exchange for an honest review.

This one has multiple POVs. Some of them go between the past and present so we can get the full picture behind this family's life like how Austin and Kate met.

The book starts off with their daughter, Mia, getting a picture leaked in a group chat. The two boys behind the picture are pointing fingers at each other. While their daughter is dealing with the fallout of that we get a glimpse into Austin and Kate's life in the past. There are some secrets they are keeping that are starting to come out and they are trying to stop them.

I liked figuring out the secrets each of them were hiding and trying to get to the bottom of who was behind the photo. The ending twist was surprising and I did not see that coming.

This Family looks picture-perfect on the outside. Behind closed doors they are anything but. How far will they go to protect their daughter from the secrets and lies from their past?

This book starts off with a bang and just keeps going from there. Past secrets and lies, murder, cover-ups, and lots of twists. I found this to be a binge-worthy psychological thriller that had me gripped from chapter one. The narrators were superb.

Our Perfect Family was definitely a play on words, as expected. This family had layers of past and secrets, and as in real life, they do come out eventually. There was a teenage element as well as the adult storyline. There was a pretty big plot twist at the end, but I could kind of see it coming. I did enjoy the story, though, and especially given the use of the multicast narration. They each did a superb job. I'd recommend this for a fun read (or listen) that will only take up a day or two. You might not be mentally taxed or blown away, but it is enjoyable just the same.
Thanks to NetGalley and Dreamscape Media for this ARL. All opinions are mine.

A wild ride from start to finish!
A family full of secrets, lies and deceit. Story of how one bad night unravels them all!

In some families, everyone is hiding a secret. Great book with a lot of surprises. I was not expecting most of what happened. This one definitely kept you guessing as to who was the guilty party and who was not. Great narration.

I enjoyed this fast paced thriller. I listened to it in a days time because it was so good. The plot and characterization were excellent. I will be recommending OUR PERFECT FAMILY.

eh, so so. the family were kind of fringe. I enjoyed the daughter but the scandalous picture wasn't very scandalous lol. i would have liked a little more tension, the twist made me roll my eyes. it was weak. I will though read more from Marsh.

I could not connect with any of the characters. I didn’t enjoy this one at all. I left it sitting for over a week and never picked it up again. DNF at 42%

If you’re into twisty family dramas where everyone’s got something to hide, Our Perfect Family is a fun, fast-paced read. On the surface, this family looks picture-perfect, but of course, that’s never the case in a good thriller! When a shocking event blows everything wide open, secrets start spilling, and the drama kicks into high gear.

The book jumps between different perspectives, which keeps things interesting and makes you question who’s really telling the truth. There are plenty of twists, and while some parts might be a bit predictable if you read a lot of thrillers, it’s still super engaging.

Overall, it’s a solid domestic suspense novel—great for a weekend binge-read!

Messy family secrets, fast drama, and a few good surprises!

Overall, I thought this book was pretty good. I enjoyed the narrators, liked most of the characters, even though some of them were messed up. And thought the plot and storyline were written well.

This wasn’t a mind blowing, didn’t see it coming read for me. I absolutely called it and it was predictable. That always plays a really big role in how I rate a book.

But I would recommend this book to others and I did enjoy it.

3.75⭐️
This is a multi-narrated audiobook which is part of Dreamscape Audios First collection where they release the titles as an audiobook before any other format.
To be honest, that was what pulled me in without reading what it was actually about except for the genre of Mystery/Thriller.

I’m glad I requested it as it was a fast paced engaging thriller!
I also enjoyed the teenage perspective as it gave a well rounded feel to telling the story. All three narrators did a great job with their recitations including speaking at a reasonable pace at the 1x speed.

The book itself was well written with a lot of twists and turns that will keep the reader entertained from chapter one.

The audiobook is out now!

I am thankful to have gotten the audio ALC for free from Dreamscape Media through NetGalley to read which gave me the opportunity to voluntarily leave a review.

My rating system since GoodReads doesn’t have partial stars and I rarely round up.

⭐️ Hated it
⭐️⭐️ Had a lot of trouble, prose issues, really not my cup of tea (potentially DNF’d or thought about it)
⭐️⭐️⭐️ Meh, it was an ok read but nothing special
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Really enjoyed it! Would recommend to others
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Outstanding! Will circle back and read again

Wow, what a wild ride! We follow the Yates family who is dealing with a horrible experience that their daughter is going through; all while trying to keep their 20 year old secrets to themselves.

There were several times in the story I was convinced I knew what was going to happen, only for Nicola Marsh to throw me another curveball. Overall, the story was a compelling, thrilling listen and the narrators were amazing.

Thank you Dreamscape Media and NetGalley for allowing me the chance to listen to this book in exchange for my honest review. All of my thoughts and opinions are my own.

This was an enjoyable read sucking me in from the first chapter. All of the secrets were written so well and the unravelling of it all was very easy to follow along with. The different narrators were perfect for each character and added more to the experience. The last bit of the book seemed a little out there, a little bit of a stretch, and a tad predictable. I still enjoyed this book and definitely will be recommending it to my audience. This author knocked it out of the park! Thank you Netgalley, Nicola March, and Dreamscape for gifting me this book!

Our Perfect Family by Nicola Marsh ⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

Respected high school teacher Austin Yates is a family man, but when his teenage daughter, Mia, is taken advantage of at a party and a photo of her in a compromised position is circulated to the class chat, Austin’s carefully controlled life begins to unravel. Family means everything to him—and he’ll do whatever it takes to protect them. Even if it means removing the threat.

For Kate, Austin is the man who saved her. She’s a good wife and doting mother. But when accusations against Austin start spreading through their small town, Kate faces an impossible choice: defend the man to whom she owes everything, or protect the family she’s sworn to hold together.

Mia just wanted to complete her final year at school. But an incriminating photo changes everything and as the world around her closes in, her next move could destroy her family—or save it.

In a town where judgment spreads faster than truth, one family’s secrets are about to be exposed. And not everyone will survive the fallout.

I really enjoyed this book! I got the #audiobook, so naturally as an American, I LOVED hearing the Aussie accents of the narrators reading it lol. The multiple POV, switching between the 3 perspectives, gives greater insight into each character. I liked the different and contradictory viewpoints, and various secrets are revealed one by one. There are also multiple mysteries unfolding, which made it even more compelling. By the middle of the book, I felt it was starting to drag a little and was wondering where it was heading, but the twist towards the end was unexpected! AND THE EPILOGUE! 👏🏼 Overall, the book is quick to get thru and worth the read/listen.

Thank you to @netgalley • @nicolamarshauthor • @dreamscape_media for an advanced audio copy of this book for an honest review! 📝

Austin and Kate live a good life. His family is wealthy so he can pursue a career in teaching while living well. Kate is a great hostess and they are happy together. Mia, their daughter is loved and cherished. She's a great kid and she's respected in school.

Then one day something terrible happens to Mia. And their happy family life becomes unfocused (great cover!) The reader becomes privy to one secret after another. So many lies and cover-ups. Who is telling the truth? Who is responsible? What's really happening?

Tremendous suspense story. I listened to the audio book and the narrator was great. Her pacing kept the listener not only involved with the story, but kept their heart thumping!

Thank you for this ARC! I loved the character development and was hooked after about ten minutes of listening. I kept thinking I had it figured out, but I never did. I definitely didn’t see the end coming. I loved the writing and dialogue. This was my first book by this author and I’ll definitely read more by her!

Niccola Marsh delivers a gripping domestic thriller in Our Perfect Family, a novel that masterfully unravels the facade of perfection to reveal a web of secrets, drama, and unexpected twists. From the outset, everything appears picture-perfect, but as the story unfolds, the cracks begin to show, and what lies beneath is far darker than it seems.

Marsh excels at building suspense, drawing readers in with a seemingly idyllic family dynamic before slowly peeling back the layers of deception. The pacing is expertly handled, ensuring that each revelation lands with impact while maintaining a steady sense of intrigue. Just when you think you have everything figured out, another twist comes along to keep you guessing.

What makes Our Perfect Family so compelling is its well-developed characters, each harboring their own hidden truths. Their relationships, motivations, and conflicts feel authentic, adding depth to the novel’s emotional core. As secrets come to light, the tension escalates, making it impossible to put the book down.

For fans of domestic suspense, Our Perfect Family is a must-read. Marsh crafts a story that is both entertaining and thought-provoking, proving once again her talent for delivering page-turning drama. After finishing this novel, readers will undoubtedly be eager to dive into more of her work.

A great domestic thriller about a family with lots to hide. Lies upon lies upon lies. Deceit, secrets, murder, revenge… Some twisted characters make things interesting. Watch out for the dropping twists I didn’t see coming! This book proves you never really know anyone, just what they want you to know.
