Aspiring actress, Kim, lands a job as a personal assistant to famous Jemima Eden. It’s not her dream job, but it will do, and maybe with the Eden’s connections Kim will finally get her big break into show business. Jemima’s life isn’t what Kim had anticipated but Jemima’s husband George makes her job tolerable. Will Kim keep the Eden’s secrets?

I was entertained by the story, and it was not at all what I expected from the title. I found the main characters unlikeable, but the authors writing kept me interested.. A quick read to add to your list.

The Other Mrs. Eden was a quick, entertaining read. I was waiting for something big and exciting to happen, but for me it never really did. I was surprised by the twist near the end, but I wasn't thrilled with the final way things played out. I did like the characters of Kim and Jemima. They were well written, and it was easy to forget they were characters on a page and not real life. I enjoyed the book and would read more by Becky Alexander.

A young girl on her own looking for a job. So instead of becoming an actress she hopes she can work for one. Jemina Eden a diva that has gone through assistants like crazy. Will Kim be able to pull it off. She needs this job so she can get a decent place to live and get a real life.
Well Jemina is a handful she has Kim jumping through hoops. Plus she fires Kim every day. Then there is George Jeminas husband who has something sinister going on. He seems to want to hold Jemina back from working.. He plays on her insecurities and tries to ruin her. What does he plan for Kim? Especially when Kim’s dreams are about to come true.
I truly enjoyed this book. The rich their lives and their secrets. An older diva taking a youngster under her wing.
This books also show the friendship between the women and how they take care of each other in the end.
Thank you Net Galley and storm for the ARC. Thank you Ms. Alexander for a thrilling book. 4.5 stars

I want to thank Storm Publishing for this ARC in exchange for my honest review!

“ But the closer I get to Jemima, the more I realise that her glossy life is just another performance…” OK, I want you to imagine that you’re the assistant to your favorite actress. Now, I want you to imagine that this actress is a moody, egotistical, revered individual who simultaneously seems to be slowly sliding from her Hollywood pedestal and is hellbent on taking you with her on that slide. But what if everything isn’t all that it seems? What if your favorite actress-turned-boss has a whole different side to her that you’ve begun to see, one that is vulnerable and perhaps even… afraid?

Jemima and Kim may seem to have so many differences on the outside but when it all comes down to it, the two are alike. This read was incredibly enjoyable, making it easy to finish in less than a week (busy life schedule and all). The characters were likable and dynamic enough that you could see their growth over time, and the dialogue wasn’t repetitive at all. I do at times wondered more about Kim and her backstory, wishing it had been more fleshed out so we could have got a bit more to her as a character, but it didn’t take too much away from the story not having that.

I really likedan this story. It kept you Guessing all the way through. Who to told the truth? And the Main characters were so nuanced, i really wanted to dig deeper and know much more about them. So a book with twists and turns that i recommend to Everyone

Thank you to Netgallery and the publisher for this ARC. The publication date is the 11th Sept. This book was intriguing, tense and thrilling! I devoured this book in 2 days as the chapters progressed it really kept me on the edge of my seat! 😊

I liked both of the characters Jemima and Kim but towards the end I was unsure of who to trust if anyone at all! The ending was unexpected and a whirlwind of a surprise; I really wasn’t expecting the ending to play out the way it did!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ stars!

I never imagined I'd be living in Jemima Eden's world. As her new assistant, I'm suddenly part of a life I've only ever dreamed of. After years of barely scraping by, juggling temp jobs and failed auditions, it feels like my chance to finally be someone!! Good book!! This book had suspense, intrigue, murder, mystery, gaslighting, secrets, and a few crazy twists and turns! The story was very interesting! I definitely recommend reading this book! Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!

Thanks to NetGalley and Storm Publishing for this Advanced Reader’s Copy of The Other Mrs. Eden by Becky Alexander due to be published September 11, 2024.
Kim lands the enviable job as personal assistant to Jemima Eden, the famous actress. But behind the smiles and marriage to George, something seems off with Jemima. Kim is also an aspiring actress. Will Jemima and George try to help her with her future career, or try to sabotage her?
This book was definitely not what I had expected from the title - which was good. Otherwise, it would have been too predictable.
Kim has an unusual relationship with both Jemima and George and there are, of course, lots of secrets with all the characters, which makes for a good thriller. It was super “twisty” as you never knew which characters to trust, and which were evil. It had me hooked until the surprising ending!
