Blurb…..
The end of our marriage was only the beginning…
Last night, we celebrated our anniversary. Over candlelight, we talked about the children, our work, and I was so happy, and felt so loved.
But the next morning, when I check my phone, there is a message. From a friend. And a string of photos appear of my husband, Will, with another woman: walking along the street holding hands. Going into fancy hotels. Standing at a window, his arms around her, her head on his shoulder…
I beg Will to tell me what’s going on. But all he can say is that it’s not what I think. As if the betrayal wasn’t bad enough, he won’t even be honest with me.
And now there’s someone watching our house. Will is acting like a stranger and I think he’s following me. I can’t trust him anymore, and I desperately need to know who sent me those photos and why.
But maybe Will is telling the truth.
Maybe it’s not what I think.
Because the more our pain stops us talking, and the more the two of us tear each other apart, the more I wonder if I ever knew him at all – and what I’ll have to risk to protect my children.
And when at last the secrets are revealed, will the truth save our family, or destroy us all?
My thoughts …..
A well thought out twisty thriller with believable characters that makes it hard to stop reading!
Jess and Will split after some compromising photographs are sent to Jess of Will and another woman. Both broken hearted feeling that the other is to blame for the split.
Broken trust, betrayal, manipulation and misunderstandings all feature.
The story really makes you think how easy it can be to be taken in by lies, how easy it can be to misinterpret things.
The plot flowed well, told by the perspectives of both Jess and Will.
I loved that behind their split you could see their love for each other despite both being reluctant to give in and simply talk to each other – a marriage where they had taken each other for granted.
A must read for thriller lovers!
My rating …..
