Publisher's summary

Alastair has found the perfect partner in husband Steven. Together they've built a successful life, had a beautiful child, and still behave like newlyweds long since the day he carried her over the threshold.

But all of that changes in an instant thanks to a thoughtless deed that has lifelong repercussions.

With secrets bubbling to the surface, the pair find their American dream life suddenly in jeopardy, and neither one of them are willing to let go at any cost.

Predictable but still a decent read

The narrators did a really good job making this entertaining. Even though I pretty much knew how the story would go pretty early on, it was still a quick engaging read.

Oh what a tangled web we weave

It is a story about a family , an affair , and death of all 3 . Narrators are fantastic story is good. Hard to put down . Teaches you that affairs are never fleeting or simple . All in all good read

Lesson Learned

This tale is a lot more realistic than not. People do all kinds of impulsive stupid things and spend the rest of their lives asking why. My husband was a chronic cheater, he ruined our relationship. Claimed he loves me, when you ask why he cheated he never had an answer. I don't know was his typical one. When a person is truly sorry for any wrong they may have committed they will never ever do it again. That much I know for sure. And I also know, some things just never mend. Why take that chance?

Twist and turns

I did not like the ending but it was a great read. I love the twists which kept me guessing.

Ugh

I don’t get why she doesn’t confront her husband. It’s so annoying. And why does every interaction with the child have to be so baby like.

ok

This is a pretty good book, but, there are too many holes in the plot. The narrators do a good job, but, they can't fill in the holes.
