I simply couldn’t get myself involved in this book with any of the unlikely twists and turns that should involve the reader. I found the protagonists difficult to like or relate to. The situations were too contrived and the ending too simplistic.

Thank you Netgalley for allowing me to read this book.

Liv Constantine is on my list of must read authors, so I was very excited when I saw this new title. It did not disappoint! I did think there were some plot holes while I was reading it, but those were resolved by the end of the book with a plot twist I did not see coming. A fast paced treat for those who like domestic suspense!

I read the authors other 2 books and they were ok. I enjoyed them but they didn’t feel special to me. This, on the other hand, was OUTSTANDING! I finished this in one day - and wished I had read it even quicker. I loved this. I loved the reveal and the tension the author built. I loved the characters and their relationships. I had no clue what was going to happen. And I loved it all!!!!!!! I’d highly recommend this to anyone who loves thrillers. It’s a must read.

I was all set to nominate this book as the worst book I’ve read all year. The writing is amateurish. The story had all sorts of weird jumps- people knew things without being told, important conversations were mentioned in passing instead of being written, huge life events were glossed over in a few pages, everyone is vapid and annoying. Meanwhile we got lots and lots of descriptions of every single meal the characters ate. And the names of the restaurants they ate them at. And the brand names of their clothes. HOWEVER, this book was totally saved by the twist. The twist was interesting, and cleared up a lot of the inconsistencies that bothered me throughout the book. It’s really too bad the twist comes in the last 40 pages or so, because it was a heck of a slog to get there. Great for readers who are in it for the twist.

Joanna is happy her husband Leo is coming out of his depression at long last and she would do anything to make him and the children happy. But just when she thinks everything will be okay, Leo falls for another woman, Piper and intends to marry her. He kicks Joanna out of the house giving her a fair cash settlement but soon stops her from seeing their children with a restraining order. When married, Piper is resentful of the way Leo always puts his children first, and as this is her third marriage she wants everything to be perfect this time around.
A fast paced page turner with wonderful twists, once I started I did nothing but read until the end. I highly recommend.
Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC. These are my opinions.

Just when I thought I had it all figured out a twist was thrown in that changed everything and had me rethinking everything I had thought to that point. This appears to be a story of a marriage broken up by a widow who preys on married men and the mother trying to protect her children from the new woman in her husband's life, but is it? Told by 2 unreliable narrators, Piper the widow and Joanna, the mother, this story leaves you asking what really happened and what is the real story.

Liv Constantine is becoming one of my favorite authors! This was a quick read for me, with alternating voices for each chapter. I totally didn't see the twist at the end coming. Good one! Thank you for the advanced copy. I will definitely be recommending this book!

Joanna has been a good wife and mother and all she wants is for her husband, Leo, to come out of the funk he has sunken into. When he suddenly begins to pay more attention to her and their children, she’s thrilled. But then she learns that Leo has got a renewed interest in life because he has fallen for another woman. Piper is the owner of a wellness club, and it would appear that Leo is head over heels in love with her. Leo tells Joanna that he will be leaving, but that she can still see their children. Destroyed, angry and determined to get revenge, Joanna begins to dig into Piper’s past, looking for anything that will bring Piper down. What she uncovers has her fearing for her children’s’ lives, but will anyone believe her, or will they dismiss her fears as the ramblings of a betrayed woman. Nothing hurts like finding out your husband is cheating, but finding out he’s hooked up with a psycho? That’s next level stuff
