Interesting concept for a novel, Samantha appears to have the “perfect” life, financially stable, friends and family that love her, but is constantly searching for more…. She meets Alice who also feels misunderstood by the world, at a dark and vulnerable time in her life. Her past love Jay Russo who appears to care for her is continually turning up in her life and shattering any stability she has. Despite meeting her ideal man Dennis Mckenzie she can’t help reflecting on her life and past decisions, is she living her best life? Highlighted the fact that you never know what’s going on under the surface of those “instagrammable” lives.

Thanks to Netgalley, the author and publishers for an ARC in return for an honest review.

I really enjoyed this book. It brings about Samantha's "perfect" life isn't really perfect. This book is a good example of how people may be "perfect" on the outside, but they are battling so much more on the inside. Definitely recommend this book. I had a little trouble keeping up with the timeline as each chapter jumped between several different times, past and present.
Thank you to Netgalley and the Proving Press for the Kindle ARC.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the Kindle ARC. The Wrong Life is about Samantha a wife and mother who has battled with anxiety and feelings of being "less" for almost her entire life. She is beautiful, married to a wealthy man who loves her and has healthy children. She is drawn to her past with Jay, a former friend she has admired and secretly loved since high school. At one point in her college career, she is hospitalized in a behavioral health facility because of her anxiety. The book is a good reflection for anyone who has suffered with feelings of feeling inferior or feeling that they should have made other choices with their life, even if the life they have is a good one.

A really good read and it shows how life can often turn out well but even then it may not be the life that suits us or gives us what we need.
