The doorbell rings, just days after my beloved husband’s sudden death. I don’t recognise the woman on our doorstep, with her blonde highlights, a diamond bracelet identical to my own and a bouncing baby boy in her arms. As I show her inside, I notice her eyes grow wide as she takes in our spacious hallway, and the big squashy sofas that we all used to pile on. She glances at the silver-framed family photos and my little daughter hiding behind my skirts. She looks at me, her blue eyes serious. ‘I’m sorry’ she says. ‘I am your husband’s girlfriend. And this is his son.'

She bursts into my life like a storm, and nothing is the same again. One by one, I watch as my friends fall under her spell. Only I see that her smiles don’t reach her cold, furious eyes. 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....

It’s hard meeting your ex after so much time apart. You remember the tears and accusations, the desperate look on his face as he punched the wall, but you try not to show it. You smile politely, even while your heart beats faster. You watch as he looks down into the stroller, at the beautiful blond-haired, blue-eyed baby kicking his little legs in the sunshine, whose innocent smile lights up your world. You see his face change. You know what he’s thinking. The next day he calls. His voice is shaking. He wants the truth. Is it his child?

The white-washed Italian villa is perfect. I thought it might feel odd, living in a stranger’s house for the summer, but as my husband and children swim in the infinity pool, I start to relax. And then, in the back of a wardrobe, I find something that shatters everything.... Sparkling green eyes, square jaw, lopsided smile. A young man with his arm around a beautiful woman. The picture is old and faded, but I’d recognize him anywhere. The man is my husband.

Best Book Ever!!
Possible hint of Spoilers - Depending on your personality (and I only say this knowing it’s fiction) - this was as close to perfect as a story I’ve listened to yet! Loved the relationship between Myles and Saffron. Loved what a great mom and wife Saffron was. Loved the realistic loyalty shown in “most” family members. Loved that each time I almost wanted to quit listening due to how horribly Saffron was treated by Clarise, I was rewarded for hanging in there! The narrators were excellent! I would love if someone could make a movie out of this beautifully written story. A very awesome feel good kind of book. I already miss the characters….LOL

Well Played!
The cast of narrators really helped bring about the depth of the story and more character development. The battle was formidable between Saffron and her mother-in-law. I really liked the ending.
Again all the narrators were excellent!!!

I couldn’t finish it - a first for me
I was intrigued by the story line and generally I am very forgiving when there is a less than great narrator or a somewhat weak story line. However, I can not even bring myself to finish this miserable book. I hate knowing I wasted my money on it so I kept trying to suffer through it but with 4 1/2 hours left to go I am calling it quits. It is as though it was written for a soap opera. Too many ridiculous events happen one after the other and the drama just is not believable: Mother in law does something dastardly to the daughter in law. Husband doesn’t believe the wife and sides with his mother. Wife slaps husband. Husband begs wife’s forgiveness. There is make-up sex. Nanny makes a play for husband. Mother in law approves. Husband is gullible. Husband and nanny embrace. Mother in law happens to snap a photo of this to show to daughter in law. Daughter in law confronts husband. All of this and a lot more occurs within about a week’s time in the story line—and all within the first couple of hours of listening. Who lives like this?? Nope. Couldn’t waste any more time on this one.

Never reviewed before. ABSOLUTELY AWFUL
I have listened to over 300 audible books. I’ve never felt the need to review. This is god awful. It reminds me of trying to be like YOU with the narration. The story is tired, the characters annoy me, and the narrators voices are like nails on a chalkboard. Not worth a credit or your time.

Weak ending
The book started off kinda slow, but then had a great plot twist and I thought it was going to take a turn for the better. However, it was all downhill from there and the ending was lame.

Are other reviewers even reading the same book?!
The ONLY good thing about this book is the performance. The narration was great. Everything else was...terrible. I truly cannot understand people saying this is an amazing book. I wanted to stop listening less than halfway through, but decided based on other reviews to stick it out in case it took a turn. It didn't. The characters were all terrible. No one can have a "great marriage" when the son of an evil witch doesn't have a backbone. He literally denied his own wife's feelings through the entire book. There were just so many annoying things, I wanted to reach through to book and tell each and every character to seriously grow up. Don't waste your time.

Nope…
Same characters doing the same things over and over again. Boring and predictable the entire way through. Narrators were decent. Don’t bother with this one.

Not bad, not great.
I liked it, but some of the characters and actions were so ridiculous that it just got so annoying. Loving your mother is one thing, allowing her to ruin your life and make you and your wife and children miserable and at risk is another. What a weak momma's boy. Also, what kind of a complete idiot would keep on a nanny who comes on to the husband. NO woman would and I don't think the husband would either. Nice twist at the end and if you can not be annoyed too bad, it's kind of a good listen.

From the outside, my marriage to Zach was perfect: a dream home, a perfect baby girl, and passionate, all-consuming love. But as I cradle my gorgeous baby, I have to accept that the husband who used to be my everything has changed. At first, it was little things: expecting me to keep to a strict schedule, picking out my clothes for me. Now, he controls every aspect of my life: from how much money I have, to when I leave the house, and who I can see. I know deep down, only one of us will make it out of this marriage alive.
