When I arrive unannounced at my husband's studio in need of a shoulder to cry on after hearing that my best student, Alex, has died, I see a pair of wineglasses drying by the sink, and my deepest fear is confirmed: my husband is having an affair. Most women would fall to their knees in tears and throw him out of the house - but I just can't bring myself to do it. Instead, I go home and cook a healthy dinner for our children, walk the dog, and unload the dishwasher without complaint. I need this marriage to work to protect a terrible secret of my own....

I started to mistrust you. Suspect you. I was confused when I blacked out after an evening at your place. Was I really that drunk? I came up with a plan. A plan to make you both pay.

Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
Which is more dangerous, a secret or a lie?
Poppy has a secret.
It was a whirlwind romance. And when Drew, caught up in the moment, suggests that he and Poppy don’t tell each other anything about their past lives, that they live only for the here and now, for the future they are building together, Poppy jumps at the chance for a fresh start.
But it doesn’t take long for Poppy to see that this is a two-way deal. Drew is hiding something from her. And Poppy suddenly has no idea who the man she has married really is, what he is hiding from her or what he might be capable of.
Drew says he has nothing to hide. Drew is lying.

A bit of everything
Light hearted (so probably not suitable for those who want real life) with a bit of sex, love, murder. But has a good story and lots of suspense. Much more than the photo cover and the summary!

I had a lot of hope for this book, but it just went on and on with no point or real story. I wished something big would happen, but it never did and the big finale ending was rubbish and a massive let down. Waste of a credit, narrating wasn’t great either.

A waste of a credit
I should have given up on this one at the beginning. Weak and unbelievable storyline as well as a very irritating male voice from the narrator. I wouldn’t waste your credit on this one.
