While on their honeymoon, June’s husband Josh went out for a swim and never came home. June has her doubts about what happened that day, which hasn’t subsided 10 years later when she starts seeing a man who looks like her husband walking around. Engaged now to someone else, June feels the need to find this person and resolve her unanswered questions about what happened that day 10 years ago. Is she prepared for the truth? In a separate timeline, we follow Bev, Josh’s mom, and what happened back in the 90’s that could be related to Josh’s disappearance now.

This book was a pleasant surprise for me! I went into it blind and didn’t know if it was a thriller or romance (it ended up being both 😂). The cover drew me in, and I love both genres so I would be happy either way. It kinda reminded me a bit of One True Loves by TJR but with more mystery elements. While romance is a theme in this book, it is mostly used to further explain the past, so ultimately I would say it’s a suspense/mystery. I loved every single twist that this book brought me. Just when I thought I knew what was happening, it threw me for a loop. Would def recommend!

Oh my! I actually put my life on hold so I could read this intriguing story from start to finish in one day. There were so many twists and turns as the author cleverly wove together several timelines and viewpoints. I also loved the way she incorporated all the steps of the winemaking process. It was interesting to learn about natural wines as well. I was reminded of how we used to use our homegrown grapes to make grape juice that actually turned into wine. Thanks to NetGalley, Simon & Schuster and the author for an advance copy to read and review.

June Kelly has finally found love again after years of mourning her late husband Josh, who disappeared one morning, never to be seen again. June never felt that his death was truly an accident but could never prove it. When one day she looked up and saw her dead husband very much alive June becomes determined to figure out what’s going on.
The story goes between June and Bev (Josh’s mother) perspective, weaving a timeline of what happened leading up to Josh’s death and after. The story was very well written, with a few twists I didn’t see coming. The ending was a nice surprise that left me really loving the book even more.
Thank you to Netgalley and to the publishers for allowing me to read this advanced copy.

This book starts out as an exciting thriller. However, somewhere along the way, things go awry. Convenient plot twists are thrown in that sound like something out of a soap opera as well as other plot twists that don't make any sense or go anywhere. On top of that the reader is expected to believe that even though June's late husband was a certain kind of person, he completely changed when he married her even though we don't really get to see much of that alleged character development or their relationship.

Much of the book isn't even about June at all. It is about Josh's mother and how she is torn between her family and her love for another woman. This has very little to do with June's story except that you do get to learn things about Josh through his mother although most of what is learned about Josh is through hearsay from what the other characters say because even in the flashbacks he doesn't appear that much.

There are interesting elements to this story, however, they don't seem to go together well. Thus, even though the ending is satisfactory in that all the loose ends are tied up, it still feels like something is missing.

This was a really interesting read. The back and forth of the timelines was confusing at first because I didn’t understand who Bev was and why we cared about her, but once I got that part figured out, I really enjoyed the story. It was a slower-paced read for me, not something I tore through in a day, but something I kept coming back to to enjoy. The winemaking piece of it was interesting, even though I am not in that world. The mystery surrounding all the events just kept getting creepier and creepier.

Whatever you do, don’t skip the epilogue like I know some readers do—it’s a very necessary part of the story, and it wouldn’t be whole without it.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

3.7
Feels like it’s been a minute since I’ve read a mystery book. I enjoyed the plot of this book so much and the ending was not what I expected. Though I have to say even though the ending wasn’t what I expected to be, it was still an idea in the back of my mind kinda of like a what if thing. The storyline definitely keeps you thinking.Really enjoyed this book and had such a great time bingeing it. Honestly enjoyed the plot of the book and some of the characters. It's told in dual POV with one being in the past and the other being present. Personally didn't enjoy the past POV at first but after reading the book and thinking more about it, I think I understand why it was needed. This definitely a book about secrets and the power of what it can do.

Laurie Elizabeth Flynn's The Girls Are All So Nice Here is an absolutely stunning read, and Till Death Do Us Part is everything I was hoping it would be. Flynn's writing is gorgeous, seamlessly building backstory and conflict with every chapter. The characters are refreshingly nuanced, each voice well-executed and engaging. In June, we get an interesting focus with wine and relationships, and I loved how the process paralleled what was happening between the characters. Without giving anything away, the subtle connections worked really well, and I couldn't put this down once I started. I finished it in a single sitting and am sad that it's over.

A total must-read, Till Death Do Us Part is one you don't want to miss.

Huge thanks to Simon and Schuster and NetGalley for providing an eARC in exchange for honest review consideration.

Ten years ago, June's husband drowned on their honeymoon, & the body was never recovered. Now, she is finally moving on with her life. She owns a natural wine bar, and is engaged to Kyle. Then one day, she spots Josh across the park. But by the time she reaches the place where she saw him, he is gone. Then, while looking at websites for wineries in Napa, she stumbles upon a family owned winery, and the husband in the picture is identical to Josh. Needing closure before she marries again, June heads to Napa for answers. But she’s not prepared for all of the secrets she’s about to unlock, because everything she thought she knew about her first love is a lie.

This dual-timeline book is told in alternating chapters between Josh's mother Bev in the past and June in the present. It starts out at a bit of a slow burn, but once the storyline picks up the pace, the book becomes much more enjoyable. I will say, Bev wasn't at all likeable, and June just seemed unhinged and did things that no sane person would have done all throughout the book. Other than that, I really enjoyed it, and it kept me guessing until the very end as to whether Josh was really alive or if not, then what had really happened to him. Also, in question, was whether or not Josh was the good guy that June originally believed him to be. Overall, if you are a fan of mysteries and suspense, then you should check this out.

My thanks to NetGalley and Simon & Schuster for the ARC of "Til Death Do Us Part" in exchange for an honest review.
In this domestic thriller, there's mystery and murder alright, but the heavy emphasis here is weighted toward domestic drama. Troubled marriages, family secrets deeply buried, infidelities and toxic sibling rivalries of children coming back to unsettle their parents.
And all of this unfolds amidst Napa Valley wineries, where the grapes are fermenting to fruition right along with the familial grapes of wrath. of the growers.
Back East, the tragically widowed June, the owner of a Brooklyn wine bar is now, ten years later, happily planning a wedding to her fiance Kyle. But she lives with haunted memories of her brief marriage to the impetuous force=of-nature Josh who mysteriously drowned on their honeymoon, his body never recovered.
And here's where the book starts to hook you, so you'll know you' won't stop til you finish it. June catches glimpses of Josh, or someone who looks exactly like him. A double? Or a resurrected Josh for real? Her ceaseless, obsessive google searches lead her to a Napa winery, whose owner looks exactly like the man she spotted on the streets.
On her own secretive mission to Napa, June stays at the winery's small hotel, hoping to meet Andrew and Sadie the married couple who own the vineyard.....especially 'Andrew', who's conveniently out of town on business.
End of me talking plot, because of course, here's where the revelations and twists begin to make themselves known. To deepen the story and characters there's parallel flashback chapters dealing with Josh's mother Bev (also a vineyard owner with husband David). These occur around the time of Josh's tumultuous adolescence, riddled with.......well, that's for readers to find out.
"Til Death Do Us Part' kept me intrigued and reading but I found some of the twists problematic and at least one major twist that's simply too far-fetched and pushes a reader's ability to swallow it. And leaving one of the mysteries unsolved and forgotten didn't help my impression either.
A great set-up that makes you determined to find out all the answers. But I'm not sure how many people will go along with those reveals when they're finally laid bare.

This is my true and honest review, thank you NetGalley for the opportunity. Went into this blind as I did not read much of the synopsis for this story. It started off intriguing June is set to marry a new man after 10 years of recovering her first husband that "died" a week into their marriage and it got me hooked to turn the pages but as it went on, it slowly started to loose my interest. The back and forth between Bev and June i kept loosing track. I would of preferred it being separated and start with June for a section then dive into the past giving off Bev's side minus some sections that I personally think didn't need to be added in, and then tapping back into Junes present day story. The characters were great just feel that i did a lot of back and forth. Has a great storyline once you get more then halfway done.

WHAT DID I JUST READ!!!! I can’t even begin to describe how much I loved this book. I thought I had it figured out a couple times. But that ENDING 🤯 I didn’t not see that coming at all. This book has it all. It has family drama, love, finding ones self, struggles to find ones place, heart break, happiness. This book will make you smile, it will make you cry and it will have you flipping through the pages. I love how this book is told in dual POV and in past and present timelines. Those are my favorite types of books, every chapter is a cliff hanger and has you flipping through the next section so you can find out where you left off. I can not recommend this book enough. I love ending that leave you saying “what just happened”.

Till Death Do Us Part by Laurie Elizabeth Flynn is a propelling story.
Full of shocking secrets and big time lies!
I enjoyed characterization and story’s development. Twists are predictable but ending was still satisfying and well played.
I found this one really binge-able, and I was totally sucked into the story.

Thank You NetGalley and Simon & Schuster for your generosity and gifting me a copy of this amazing eARC!

Till Death Do Us Part by Laurie Elizabeth Flynn was unputdownable! I was sucked into this dual point of view thriller with a dash of family drama. The majority of the book takes place in Napa and the wine descriptions were amazing!

June lost her husband in a freak accident on her honeymoon. Now ten years later, she’s engaged but believes her dead husband is following her.

While there were multiple story lines, they mostly tied up together in the end. Through twists and turns I never saw the ending coming! I really enjoyed this book! Definitely recommend this as an early fall read with a full bodied cab or Chardonnay. I can’t wait to read what Laurie writes next!

Thank you to NetGalley and Simon & Schuster for an advanced copy in exchange for my honest opinion.

Is he dead or alive -- and who is he anyway? When a woman catches a glimpse of the man she eloped with for a romantic wedding who has been presumed dead after being missing for years, she cannot rest until she puts this mystery to rest once and for all, for her own sanity and that of the man she is engaged to marry. A fantastically well-written thriller with all the twists and turns AND phenomenal writing that put me right into June's shoes, chasing what seems to be a phantom and then untangling an intricate web of truth and lies. Don't start reading this too close to bed or you'll be up way too late, thinking one more chapter and then finding another reason to keep going. I received a copy of this book and these thoughts are my own, unbiased opinions.

Till Death Do Us Part is a twisty, sexy ride that leads the readers through multiple reveals to understand what exactly happened to June's first husband.

Ten years ago, June married Josh, only to be devastated when he died shortly after on their honeymoon. After years of healing, she's engaged to a charming man named Kyle, when she thinks she sees her husband Josh. Not thinking it could be possible, she tries to tell herself she's just hallucinating him because she feels guilty for moving on. But then she finds a picture of a winery owner in Napa who looks exactly like Josh, and she has to go figure out if it's really him.

Told in alternating perspectives between June and Josh's mother, this story unfolds with reveal after reveal leading to a wild conclusion!

Fans of May Cobb and Jaime Lynn Hendricks will love this one.

DNF at 40%. There was unexpected on-the-page sexual content that is not mentioned in the book description. No, thank you.

But I could have skimmed past it had the book not been so boring otherwise. I loved the technical wine-making talk until it became repetitive instead of insightful. The main characters don't have much personality. The writing is confusing at times; I'd have to read passages over and over to understand who the pronouns were referring to, what part of the timeline was happening or being referenced to.

Thanks to NetGalley and Simon and Schuster for an e-arc to read and review voluntarily and honestly.

I found the book's premise intriguing, but the multiple POVs and timelines made it hard to follow. The characters were unlikeable, and the story felt overwhelming with too much going on. It just just okay for me.

A fab read.
Ten years ago, June’s beloved husband drowned on their honeymoon, his body never found. Now, a decade later, June is finally ready to move on. She owns a natural wine bar in Brooklyn and is engaged to a patient, supportive man named Kyle. She’s excited to finally begin a new chapter in her life and start a family.But out of the blue, she sees him—Josh, her first husband. Is this just a hallucination from the guilt June carries about finally moving on, or is it possible that her husband never died in the first place? June tries to forget about this vision, chalking it up to grief and nerves, but soon enough, she stumbles across a website for a winery in Napa, and the owner in the photo is identical to her dead husband. With her upcoming wedding looming and a fiancé who’s already worried she hasn’t quite left her past behind, June secretly flies to Napa for answers. But she’s not prepared for all the secrets she’s about to unlock because everything she thought she knew about her first love is a lie.
Thanks to NetGalley and Simon Schuster for giving me an advance copy.

I really enjoyed this book from beginning to the end. In this story you get great setting of Napa wineries and lots of references to wine making and wine drinking. You also get beautifully written family drama. This story is written in two POVs - June - young widow who lost her husband Josh just days after their wedding and Bev - Josh's mother.
As we read more about Bev's and Josh's past we start learning that everyone has secrets and they are not who they appear to be.
This book is not really a thriller but very well written family drama and mystery with so many twists that it is be hard to put it down. Great summer and fall read! And don't forget to get yourself a glass of wine while you are reading it :)

Thank you Simon & Schuster and the author for a free ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I wasn't expecting the "mystery" involved with this book. Maybe I didn't read the description clearly. That being said, I don't usually read books like this but I found myself wanting to read to find out what happened to June's first husband, Josh. They met and married within 6 months and then Josh died within a week of them being married. Josh's body was never recovered from the ocean where he had "gone for a swim" and June had reason to believe his death was suspicious. Ten years later, June is getting re-married to Kyle who she's been with for several years. She sees her deceased husband twice in NY and decides to return to CA to figure out the truth about what happened to Josh. Told in alternating chapters in the present with June and in the past with Bev, Josh's Mom. Interesting story.
