Wow what a story! This is my first book by this author and it definitely will not be the last. I was engaged from the start, I love a story that follows multiple perspectives and this was no different. I really enjoyed the mystery woman and love how it was interwoven throughout the story. At times the characters made me frustrated that they could even possibly stay with this man, but that’s what made it a great book. I loved them and then was mad at them throughout. It was a quick read and I finished it in a day. I just had to know what would happen next and it did not disappoint. I give this book 5 out of 5 stars. Thank you netgalley and publisher for the advanced copy.
Told from alternate perspectives of three women involved with one man. The man is hospitalized after a hit and run accident, leaving the reader trying to guess which woman is the culprit. The author throws in an unexpected twist at the end.
The Truth About the Accident by Nicole Trope
Characters: 5/5
Pace: 5/5

Enjoyment: 5/5
OMG, Nicole Trope has written a brilliant thriller that has alll the marks of a great movie. A family thriller that brings us to the hospital where a man lay on life support and his wife is not as upset as one would expect although nothing is really what the reader expects. Told with four POV’s you are taken to the past as well as the present but done so very fluidly. The ease of how the writer flip flops between is natural and perfect. There is a surprise unknown to the reader that will bring everything together and in such a way that will leave you breathless. The author gives the reader small hints throughput but is careful not to expose the real secret that brings the truth to the surface. This is one hell of a ride that you actually won’t see coming.

Thank you to NetGalley as well as the author/publisher for giving me the opportunity to read this book in exchange for my unbiased and honest review.
This story is told from four different points of view: Marla, Damon's wife; Athena, his mistress, Sonya, his therapist, and a mystery woman. After Damon is hit by a car and lying in a hospital bed in a medically induced coma, we find out the details of his relationship with each woman and the ensuing accident.
Damon was a lying, cheating scoundrel with no redeeming qualities, so I was rooting for the women as their stories unfolded. Sometimes, I find books written with multiple viewpoints confusing. This one was not because the characters were so well defined. I could even envision what each of them looked like.
This was a fast-paced, enjoyable story, and I plan on reading many more books by this author.
Thank you to NetGalley, Nicole Trope, and Bookouture for the ARC of this book! The publication date is June 30, 2023.
This seemed interesting enough when I started it but it just plateaued and didn't get going. There was a lot of speculation and introspection by the women in the story and they kept going over the same thoughts again and again. I had some idea where the story was headed and I wasn't really motivated to get there.
I received this arc from netgalley in exchange for my honest review.
We follow 4 different POVs. Marla, who is Damon’s wife, Athena, who is Damon’s mistress, Sonya, who is Damon’s therapist, and a Mystery woman, who seems obsessed with Damon. We find out snippets of Damon’s infidelity along with finding out what really happened the day he was hit by a car slowly throughout the book.
Personally, I found all the characters unlikeable. They were all infatuated with Damon despite his inability to be honest or faithful. Not much was really happening throughout the book except these women that Damon had relationships with all revealing the details of their relationships. I thought it was predictable and underwhelming. The end wasn't even satisfying for me.
Despite that, this was a super quick read for me. I would check out other books by this author as I did like her writing style. I was just not a fan of this book.
Thank you NetGalley, Nicole Trope, and Bookouture for the ARC of this book!
Nicole Trope delivers a fast paced domestic thriller with "The Truth About the Accident" This story about about 3 women wronged by a very bad man and what women will do to protect themselves and their children. I really enjoyed this book and look forward to reading other books by Ms. Trope.

The Truth about the Accident by Nicole Trope Relationship drama told in different POVs, Marla, Sonya, Athena, and a mystery woman. Slow paced, without much action, and repetitive at times, The characters were all shallow, self absorbed and unlikeable. Not a favorite of mine by this author.
Thank you to the author, Bookouture. and NetGalley for the opportunity to preview the book.
The Truth About the Accident by Nicole Trope
Another great book by Nicole Trope!
Damon Kennedy has had a terrible accident; he has been hit by an unknown car and is lying in a hospital bed in a sedated comma. Who would hit an innocent man and just drive away. But Damon is not an innocent man, he is a classic womaniser who has been cheating on his wife, Marla, for many years.
Damon started attending therapy with Sonya. Damon says he wants to stop cheating on his wife but so far Sonya has not seen any positive progress from their therapy sessions instead she has discovered that Damon is a narcissist who uses his therapy time to brag about his conquests instead of finding a way to change.
Athena is pregnant with Damon’s child and is sure he is going to leave his wife and be with her.
The book tells how each character’s life pans out after Damon’s accident and as we learn more about each character’s life, we realise what really happened that day.
I would like to thank Net Galley and Bookouture for a copy of this eBook in exchange for an honest review
A hit and run leaves Marla's husband in the hospital. You would think she'd be devastated, but instead, she seems almost relieved. What is the truth about this accident?
Another solid read from Nicole Trope! Not much of a thriller, this book was more of an expose on cheating husbands and the damage it causes for all those involved. None of the characters were particularly likeable, which sorta fueled my fire too see what happened and who was really responsible. I always reach for a Trope novel when I want something quick and twisty, and this fit the bill!
The Truth about the Accident by Nicole Trope was unforgettable and impossible to stop reading. This story is full of suspense, revenge, suspicion, and tension. At the center of this story is Damon, a successful CEO, husband, and father. He is struck down in a hit and run accident, and is clinging to life in a coma in a local hospital. Damon appears to have everything together and to be a successful business man and devoted husband and father however, appearances can be deceiving. What was Damon doing walking on a busy highway in poor weather? Why can the car that hit him not be properly identified? Was it a random event or something more sinister? As the story unfolds, more main characters are introduced as they are intimately involved with Damon. This book was fast paced, suspenseful, and had many twists and turns. Yet another novel destined to be a best seller by Nicole Trope. If you enjoy a good psychological thriller, this book is for you. If I could give it more than 5 stars, I would! Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the advance review copy in exchange for my honest review.
I devoured this book on a rainy day! Damon has quite a number of women in his life…a wife, a mistress, and a therapist/mistress. When he is injured in an accident, many questions arise! This one kept me turning pages. Loved it!
This book was told from the viewpoints of 3 women mainly, the wife, the counselor, and the mistress. Man, does Damon get around. Damon is hit by a car early on and the rest of the story is while he’s in a coma and who hit him and why. These woman have to battle the demons inside of them, all while, trying to see how they incorporate into each other’s lives. All, while there is an unexpected surprise that none of them saw coming.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher and author for giving me this advanced reader copy.
Domestic thrillers are my favorite when I’m not reading romance. The suspense, drama, secrets and lies. Let me tell you this book keeps you on your toes!! I enjoyed the characters and their interactions and I just couldn’t put this book down!
The Truth About the Accident is a novel about a man in a coma after having been in a hit-and-run. With multiple points of view from his wife and mistresses, this is an engaging read that amps up the tension as the plot unfolds.
The characters are well-drawn and suit the unfolding story brilliantly with lots of tension and breath-holding twists and turns. The ending was great, I didn't see it coming at all. Well paced and very readable, really enjoyed this novel.
Damon is a liar. A compulsive liar and he may just be about to get his comeuppance. His wife, his girlfriend and his therapist have all been burned badly by this liar of a man and now he is laying in a coma in a hospital bed but who put him there? Was it an accident or something more sinister???
I had my head stuck in this book and read it within 2 days. A great read, very interesting and twisty….dark and sinister

An absolute page turner. Juicy drama and a clever mystery. I was dying to find out how this all concluded and collided.
Thank you to @netgalley, @bookouture and the author for the ARC of this book to read and review.
The hit and run of a cheating husband … and a triangle of women who all have reason to be the one stepping on the gas!
From page one, I was going mad trying to figure out how everyone was connected and what part they played in this dramatic saga.
The author did a fantastic job presenting each character and their side of the story … and it contained just enough twisty-ness to keep me guessing and engaged to the very end! ((Where I found out every single guess of mine … was wrong.🤷🏻♀️))
🚨 Get ready for a wild & mysterious ride with …
● multiple pov’s
● the cheating husband you love to hate
● the women who want revenge
● the women who still want him
● twists, turns & plans gone wrong
Wow, what an un-put-downable book! Great from the first until the very last pages. Although the rest of the book was predictable, the end surprised me.
