Review not appearing in reviews

I posted a review of Sex and Lies by Leila Slimani and although it seems have added it to the total reviews listed for the book, my review is not there. If you look at the reviews it says there are 2 in English but only one shows up.
See https://www.librarything.com/work/20681913/reviews.

I posted my review in the review section of edit my book.
You can see it there with the correct word count. I don’t want to post it again because I think the review count will just increase.

Can you look at this please?

I dug deeper. I can see it if I go to Members and then Reviews. But for some reason I thought I could see all reviews by clicking on Reviews in the side bar of the Main Page of a book. Is this correct?

It’s posted on a page by a different author:

It’s the same book in each case. The full title is Sex and Lies: True Stories of Women's Intimate Lives in the Arab World. But the two words before the colon bring up the same book but with different reviews.

Are Leïla Slimani or Sarah Agha editors and thus the two books should be combined as asked in >5 2wonderY: ?

Yes I know Slimani is the author. It’s just that the same book is appearing under two titles.
Which one is correct. And if one is correct the other is not because the reviews on Sex and Lies describe the same book as the one with the long title.

No one is disbelieving you.

For some reason, the narrator was shown as the author. I've corrected that and combined the editions.
