Story
Would you go to extremes to live the life of your dreams? From the bestselling author of Here, Home, Hope, comes a novel of romantic suspense and choices, with a nod to the best of Susan Isaacs's tales of suburban murder. Once again, everything isn't what it seems in the suburb of Grandville. All the Difference is the story of three Grandville women whose lives become entangled by the choices they make and how, ultimately, one of them turns to murder to achieve her goals. Roommates Laura and Angie couldn't be more different.

Summary
An Amazon Charts bestseller.
There is no limit to the lies, suspicion, and secrets that can poison the perfect marriage in this twisting novel of suspense by USA Today bestselling author Kaira Rouda.
Kate Nelson had it all. A flourishing company founded with her husband, John; a happy marriage; and a daughter, Ashlyn. The picture-perfect family. Until John left for another woman. Tish is half his age. Ambitious. She’s cultivated a friendship with Ashlyn. Tish believes she’s won.
She’s wrong.
Tish Nelson has it all. Youth, influence, a life of luxury, and a new husband. But the truth is, there’s a lot of baggage. Namely, his first wife - and suspicions of his infidelity. After all, that’s how she got John. Maybe it’s time for a romantic getaway, far from his vindictive ex. If Kate plans on getting John back, Tish is one step ahead of her.
She thinks.
But what happens next is something neither Kate nor Tish saw coming. As best-laid plans come undone, there’s no telling what a woman will do in the name of love - and revenge.

The plot is fairly basic. The writing style and dialogue are amateurish. Also, the narration is terrible. The wife's southern drawl is overdone, the ex-wife sounds like a robot, and the daughter is melodramatic and overacts throughout the story.

Never ending recap
Alternating chapters between 3 main characters gives you repetitive recaps on what you just heard 2 chapters ago! Ridiculous and boring. Amazon does a good job of promoting books but certainly limit exchanges after you realize it’s more regurgitated garbage. I have 1000 books in my library but now stuck with another lemon. Buyer beware

The plot had all the basics of a solid domestic thriller but it failed to deliver from the mid point to the ending.
The story became nonsensical and soap opera like.

Girl Cat Fight on Corporate Level
Overall I did enjoy the book. I know the point was to make the 2nd wife annoying & despicable so that said I guess they accomplished it 100% with the performance reading as well. However, the character Tish grated on me as is it bounced back and forth being told from different narrator perspectives.
Basic premise being a large corporation, 1 married guy with a daughter and a young woman that comes along and breaks up this happy little unit and the holy hell that follows next. Many lessons and a great twist at the end but seriously,.... don't divorce someone to remarry another when your new wife is basically the same age!
I enjoyed the book overall other than the voice of Tish. 👍

Umm, strangely written
Okay, so one second the character is speaking to another character; in the the next breath they are talking straight to the reader like we are in the book (maybe it should have been a play?) And another thing, I thought I was accidentally hitting the back button a few times because so many lines repeated almost verbatim. It was so often that I thought I was glitching on my IPad. I guess the story held my attention, but those first two observations are big pet peeves.

What?
This kept being recommended on audible and on twitter. It was offered with kindle unlimited so I figured what the heck? To begin with, the narrator for the young wife isn’t bad, she just doesn’t fit the age or description of the character. She sounds a lot older. As someone from the south, that isn’t how young southern girls sound. Also there’s a lot of wasted time going between narrators and retells of what we just heard from the other person. Not sure I’ll make it through this one. Very soapy and/or Lifetime movie-ish.
Update: now I’ve finished it and I’m taking more stars away because it was so bad. I put it on 2.5x to get through.
