Story
When Lydia was a teenager, she made a decision that ruined her family's life. They've spent the last 30 years living with the consequences and doing their best to pretend it never happened. Lydia's husband, the gorgeous and reliable Mark, and her two teenage children know nothing about that summer back in 1982. And that's the way Lydia wants it to stay. The opportunity to come clean is long gone, and now it's not the lie that matters; it's the betrayal of hiding the truth for so long.

Staring at the stunning diamond solitaire on her finger, Kaitlin is finally getting the chance to introduce her best friend, Zoe, to her perfect fiancé. She hasn’t known Greg long, but he looks after her, and he loves playing dad to her young daughter. How could she say no when he’s already planned their elopement? As guests arrive, why is Greg acting so shifty? And is that a flicker of recognition on Zoe’s face? And why does she look terrified every time her phone rings?

You’d never know what secrets the house on Hogarth Street holds - what’s happening, right this second, behind closed doors. An emerald-green front lawn. Perfectly trimmed hedging. An ivy-covered front gate and the scent of honeysuckle in the air. In the yard, two scooters lie on the grass. One blue, one pink, belonging to five-year-old twins.

Story
You’ve been excited about this getaway for months–at last, a chance to reconnect with your husband at a secluded island resort. But when he unexpectedly calls you from the beach, you hear the urgency in his voice. Something is very wrong. The beautiful waitress from the restaurant last night has been found lying dead in the sand. And the police want to question your husband about it. Sure, you saw him glance at her over dinner a few times, but you know he didn’t have anything to do with the poor girl’s death.

Story
Susie did something that she knows she will always regret: giving her baby son up for adoption, to keep her infidelity secret from her family. Louise, Susie's daughter, feels the effects of that decision echoing down through the years - her mother has always been difficult, too strict with her but not strict enough with her sister, Grace, who is wild and out of control. And Danny, Susie's husband, adores her but has always sensed something wrong at the heart of their marriage.

And when I’m accused of things I didn’t do, when my home is vandalized, I know she’s behind it. But she only lets her mask slip when no one is looking, so if I say anything, I’ll look crazy. So when the baby shower comes around, I’m sitting on a velvet sofa in a posh hotel room, surrounded by balloons. But that afternoon, I finally learn the unbelievable truth. There is no baby....

Last night, we celebrated our anniversary. Over candlelight, we talked about the children, our work, and I was so happy, and felt so loved. But the next morning, when I check my phone, there is a message. From a friend. And a string of photos appear of my husband, Will, with another woman: walking along the street holding hands. Going into fancy hotels. Standing at a window, his arms around her, her head on his shoulder…

Good book
I love the details of this book and how it explains why some women stay in abusive relationships. I love the way it shows how wrong we could be in our judgments of others. I hope it helps others to understand and be less judgmental.I enjoyed the narrator’s voice.

Beautiful story narrated by the perfect voice.
Loved the writing and details in this book. The author had some really comical lines with Maggie’s character that had me laughing out loud. Such a wonderful book about a blended family while also providing some shockers to the plot along the way. I highly recommend this.

A gentle read that unfolds into something so much more!
A quiet book that keeps you going because you know it’s travelling somewhere wonderful. The characters are so perfectly developed and woven into the story. I may read it again now that I know the ending it was that good.

Couldn’t put this one down!
I finished this book in less than 2 days, it was very believable with just enough twists and turns to keep me guessing!
It’s unfortunate that this is so relatable to many but I hope it’s possible that reading a book like this clears the fog and sheds new light for those in these situations and opens the path to better roads/options ahead…..
I’ll be choosing this book as our next bookclub pick!

Could be used as teaching tool
This story explains very well the slow progress of abuse, coercive control, financial control, the over time psychological toll it takes. If anyone needs education on why someone stays, how it happens, this book is for you. If anyone looks at someone who left a picture perfect life and thinks they are nuts because of what is portrayed publicly, there are closed doors. A life like this may just be why. Sometimes you don’t know you are in it until you are too deep. Sometimes you are out for years before you realize how bad it had been. Like I said, this is an amazing book that could be used easily as a teaching tool.
This will make my favourite books list.
