Synopsis
Such a quiet and ordinary wife and mother. Who will even notice what she’s done?
Lillian Smith leads an unexceptional life, writing obituaries and killing time with her inattentive husband and disconnected son. Then she meets David, a handsome stranger, in a coffee shop. Lured into an affair, she invents a new persona, one without strings, deadlines, or brooding husbands.
Lillian has never felt so reckless, unpredictable, or wanted. But as her affair with David intensifies, she withdraws from everything that’s real, even her closest friend. When evidence of her life as a secret lover finds its way onto her son’s social media, she risks ruining much more than her marriage or reputation.
As lies beget lies, Lillian’s two worlds spiral dangerously out of control. And betrayals run deeper than she imagines. Because Lillian isn’t the only one leading a double life.

~ Review ~
This book was not only intriguing and suspenseful. I could not wait to return to this book after having to step away. The story in the back of my mind making me wonder what was coming next.
I liked Lillian and grew to love her through out the story. Her job was morbid but also the last impression of someone. You could tell that she cared deeply for those around her that left her to putting herself last. Until she decides she needs a change and things get real interesting.
What can I say about Mike…..well lets just say I wasn’t a fan of his demeanor or condescending attitude. He was cold and treated Lillian like she was a child. Business seemed to be his first love but Mike’s not all he pretends to be…..
Sam…. the bestie. He seemed to be a true friend. One to listen and look out for Lillian. They appeared to be more than just drinking buddies and who kept her entertained with his intellectual banter.
Levels of deceit, secrets, betrayal and subtle hints that there was more going on than then the obvious or the inferred.
Alessandra’s writing was crisp and concise. The story ever changing and engaging from the first page right through to the end. I liked that she told the story in multiple points of view.
If you are looking for a suspenseful novel to keep you up for “just one more chapter” this book is for you.
