About this listen

What if the perfect life you envy was rotten to the core?

Three brand-new friends. Three very different families. Way too many secrets.

Gisela, Sally and Kate become close when they move into the same new housing estate. But behind their shiny front doors, each has something to hide.

Gisela’s Facebook profile is plastered with photos of her high-achieving son - #soproud; her teenage daughter - #bestfriends; and her gorgeous husband - #lovemyhubs. She’s the envy of everyone she knows, but how long can she keep covering up the truth?

Sally is married to her soul mate - or so the champagne glasses glinting in front of another tropical sunset seem to suggest. But what will it take for her friends to realise the life she claims to adore is breaking her heart?

Kate is a single mum. She uses Facebook to keep an eye on her teenage daughter but claims her own life is too boring to post anything herself. But maybe Kate wants to sit below the radar because she doesn’t want anyone to look too closely and start asking questions about her past....

Three lives collide in this gripping story about friendship, motherhood and marriage and the façade of perfection people present to the world.

I’m not sure why I chose this book, perhaps the title I guess as woman we change during our lives before kids, after marriage, before moving, after kids leave home etc etc
This was a very thought provoking booking it moved me to tears but had really positive and believable story lines with good outcomes. I’d certainly recommend it to my friends and other readers in our woman’s club so thank you for what you do

Fabulous Read

Really enjoyed this book. Bang up to date, modern everyday life. Nice to read that we all, deep down, have similar fears, similar hopes and find ourselves in the middle of good and bad times.
Loved it! Shame it’s finished, I will miss it.

Great read.

Brilliant but heartbreaking

Loved this book, got totally involved with the main characters. Very well written by Kerry and excellently narrated by Emma. It definitely goes to show that you never know what is going on in someone else’s life. Thoroughly enjoyed it thank you ladies.
