My Husband’s Girlfriend by Sheryl Browne is masterful. It is a story about damaged people. Not necessarily bad people, but people who have themselves being harmed by the circumstances of life, and then become dangerous themselves.
On the surface it is a simple story. A couple splits up, and they both love their little boy Ollie. They will both do anything they can to protect him. But, life moves on and they meet new partners. Then starts the dance of meeting the extended families, access and sharing their most precious child.
Is Sarah
simply jealous of her ex-husband’s new girlfriend who seems to be so
perfect. She is prepared to do
absolutely anything for Ollie. Her gut instinct
tells her to be careful, but everything around her, including Laura, the
girlfriend in question says not. She is
being unreasonable. There is an
explanation for everything. Or is there?
This is a brilliant
psychological thriller that so many of us can relate to. New families are the norm. The big question is who should you trust.
This book has
loads of wonderful twists and turns that will keep you hooked right to the end
(which without giving any spoilers is not the end I expected).
Sarah’s heart sinks. But when she raises her concerns, nobody wants to listen. To everyone else, Laura is the perfect stepmother and Sarah is just the jealous ex-wife. But Sarah knew the moment she met Laura she couldn’t trust her, from her overly perfect stepmother act to the way she evaded questions about her own history.
Soon Ollie is asking to spend more time with his dad and Laura, and shrinking away from Sarah. Then, when she calls to him in the garden one day, Ollie doesn’t answer back. The garden is silent. Ollie’s sandpit is empty. Ollie has disappeared.
If you love a book that keeps twisting and turning, then you’ll love My Husband’s Girlfriend – it’s guaranteed to keep you up all night. Perfect for fans of Claire McGowan, Shalini Boland and Lisa Jewell.
