About the Book:
To those who think they know her, Eliza Curran has it all: two healthy children, a stunning home and a wealthy, adoring husband. No one would guess the reality of her life: trapped in an unhappy marriage to a controlling man, she longs for a way out. When she takes on a new tenant, her life changes unexpectedly. Dan Jones is charming and perceptive, and quickly becomes a close friend to the whole family. But Dan's arrival threatens to tip Eliza's fragile world out of balance. And when someone has as many secrets as Eliza does, the smallest slip could destroy everything.

My Review:
Life is a series of bargains. Battles you win, losses you accept.

I hated Martin right away. He was so possessive and demanding of his wife Emma. Being in a wheelchair doesn't give you free rein to be an asshole and a bastard. I couldn't for the life of me figure out why Emma would stay with him, but then as I read on I came to learn she had a secret herself and Martin knew it.

This was a really good domestic thriller with some very intriguing characters, all of which were extremely unlikable, had deep dark secrets and would do anything to keep them unknown. None of the characters in this story had me cheering for them but I couldn't stop reading about them. My only complaint is the usual about most thrillers...not everything was completely believable...but I still enjoyed this.

Disclosure:
Thank you NetGalley, Emma Curtis and Random House UK, Transworld Publishers, Black Swan for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an impartial review; all opinions are my own.

Must Love Books by Shauna Robinson

My rating: 3.5 Stars A book about books and a girl who loves books? Yes please! Who could not love a premise like this? I loved the realistic characters and I felt for Nora, she captured my heart. I was really cheering a romance on for her but alas, it was not meant to be I guess. I appreciated that the author handled the mental health issues with sensitivity and care, who of us has not need to dig deep and make a hard decision based on what is best for us. It was very brave of the author to put working for a publishing house in a bad light and we all know this is fiction! Even though the book started off a bit slow for me it was a great way to spend a cozy Sunday afternoon and I found it very entertaining. With many thanks to NetGalley, Shauna Robinson and Sourcebooks Landmark for the giving of the ARC. View all my reviews
