6 posts | 7 read | 4 to read
Ten years ago he killed my son. Today I married him. Ten years ago my darling son Jesse was murdered and our perfect family was destroyed. My strong, handsome boy, so full of life, became a memory, a photo I carried with me everywhere. But today Im finally close to finding happiness again. My ash-blonde hair has been curled into ringlets. Carefully placed white flowers frame my delicate features. The small, drab chapel has been prettied up with white satin, and there are tiny red hearts scattered on the small table where I will soon sign the register with my new husband. The man who killed my son. My friends and family cant understand it. My neighbours whisper in the street whenever I walk past. How can I love a man like Tom?

Well starting this one now. I've listened to a couple of Slater's audiobooks in the past and I enjoyed them so I'm excited to spend a day relaxing and listening to my favorite kind of book.

This turned out much differently than I predicted. Solid twists. One of the characters is so hateful that it grated on me. But, she had reasons.

10 years ago, Bridget‘s son Jesse was killed at the hands of his friend Tom in a bar fight. Bridget forms a relationship with Tom while he is in prison through the “restorative justice program”, they get married, once he is released they have to deal with the fallout. Tom‘s mom suspects ulterior motives

Audible Production (7/10):
I have to admit, this story starts off extremely rocky. Trying to keep track of so many narrators (specifically remembering the difference between Bridget and Jill). Once the story truly gets going, it‘s hard to put down.

There‘s a very unique concept here, albeit strange and fairly unnatural. Plus the side characters did quite a bit to make me enjoy the main story even more.

Forty-eight-year-old Bridget is about to marry a man twenty years younger than her.

But that‘s not the crazy part.

Her new husband, Tom, is also the man who murdered her son ten years ago.

And he is about to be released from prison.

Plenty of family drama, and with little secrets here and there.

This book was a page-turner but can‘t say the ending was overly rewarding.

Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
