My review: 4⭐
What a predicament this mother is in.
Grace has known Marcus since she was 16 and has never had a single doubt about his character. When their daughter makes an accusation about her father ~ do you believe your husband of 14 years or your 7 year old child? There are some old secrets that come to light that really bring the story together.
I like that it switches narration between Grace, Marcus and Coco (Grace’s best friend that she lost contact with) and between the past and present, however it’s all over the place so you really have to pay attention.
Katy Federman did a good job, I do wish there was a male narrator for the male parts though.
My thought was that it was (view spoiler) who was lying the whole time, but I didn’t guess what was really going on. I was on the edge of my seat for a few chapters there towards the end.
Overall, this was a nice family drama thriller that kept me pretty engaged throughout. I would give this author a go again.
*Thanks to NetGalley, Harper Collins Uk and Sarah Clarke for the advance audiobook. I am voluntarily leaving my honest review*
Book blurb: Release date ~ April 28, 2022
From the outside, it seems Grace has it all. Only she knows about the cracks in her picture-perfect life… and the huge secret behind them. After all, who can she trust?
Her brother Josh is thousands of miles away, and he and Grace have never been close – he was always their parents’ favourite.
Her best friend Coco walked away from her years ago, their friendship irreparably fractured by the choices they’ve made.
And her husband Marcus seems like a different man lately. Grace can’t shake the feeling that he’s hiding something.
But when her seven-year-old daughter makes a troubling accusation, Grace must choose between protecting her child and protecting her secret… before she loses everything.
