Summary
"They’re lying," my little stepson whispers, his blue eyes shining with tears as I tuck him into bed for the first time. "They think I’ve forgotten, but I remember everything. I know my mummy is still alive."
My best friend warned me that it was too soon to marry Edward, a widower with an adorable but troubled little boy. She said we were moving too fast. But all I could see was a kind, loving man, struggling with grief, who needed my help.
Yet as storm clouds gather above our small wedding ceremony, my hopes and dreams fall apart. None of my husband’s family turns up to support us. Instead of a honeymoon, we have a quiet night in. My wedding bouquet is placed on his first wife’s grave. And then my new stepson tells me he’s sure his mother is still alive.
What does Noah remember, and why is his father trying to make him forget? Have I been completely wrong about my husband? What happened to the woman who came before me, and how far will he go to stop me finding out the truth?
An utterly gripping, twisty psychological thriller, perfect for fans of Before I Go to Sleep, The Girl on the Train and Gone Girl.

Absolutely rubbish
I’m raging I actually used a credit on this book and now I can’t return it. I probably listened to 2 hours or less and it’s utter crap! The narrator has a terrible, mundane voice. The story is boring and predictable. Don’t waste ur time 🤦♀️

Not her best.
I found this book very long and drawn out. Not Jess Ryder's best offering. I was not gripped and found the story very unbelievable.
Ploughed on to the end, but I felt, for me, this was a waste of credit. Sorry!

Fantastic .
I absolutely loved this book from the second I started reading it. It kept me hooked and intrigued from start to finish. The narrator also has a wonderful voice, which we all know just makes the book that much more special.

Why so many good ratings?!
This was the least climactic book I have listened to in a long time. There was absolutely no mystery involved. You know what is happening the entire time almost. It is utterly boring. The narrator is not great either.

Mixed feelings
I was definitely hooked into the story and characters but the main character is dense and made me mad by most of her choices. Overall, not my favorite Jess Ryder novel but not terrible. I guess it was okay. I was half interested, half wanted to get it over with and move on with my life. The story was definitely not as thrilling as expected.

Good Read
Even though I pretty much figured out the plot of this book, I have to say it was an interesting read.

Eh
It wasn't what I would call a "thriller." Everything that you thought would happen, happened

very entertaining
I don’t know why anyone would give a negative review… this was enjoyable. The ending was slightly predictable but not the journey held my attention the entire time. The way it was told was comforting. Terrific voice performance.

Very enjoyable
I enjoyed this book. The narration was good. The only complaint was it ended kind of abruptly but it was definitely worth a credit.
