Five years ago I buried my husband. Today I saw him with his new wife.
‘Thank you for agreeing to be our wedding planner. Theo is on his way,’ Madison says as we meet to plan her dream wedding. The moment her fiancé enters the room, a newborn baby in his arms, my whole world shifts and I grab hold of my desk to stop myself from falling.
Theo shakes my hand as he introduces himself, but I already know who he is. He’s my husband. The man I thought had died five years ago.
‘Lovely to meet you, Eva,’ he says, carefully avoiding my frozen stare. I’d recognise his smooth voice anywhere.
I want to scream, ask him why he’s doing this to me. But I know just how good a liar my husband is. And he knows my darkest secret. I can’t risk him destroying everything I’ve worked so hard for.
At the end of the meeting, I watch the happy little family walk away, and I don’t miss Theo’s eyes staring at me just a second too long. He knows I’m onto him. But only I know what I’m going to do next… ~taken from Goodreads

I am always up for a new read from Carla Kovach. Just pop her name in the search on my blog and you can see I have read and reviewed several of her books. She has an easy going way of writing that immerses you in the happenings and keeps every chapter as interesting as the last.
This was a very unique plot and I have to just say, highly unrealistic, but it was a wild read! If you think you have it figured out, believe me you don't.
This is broken up into three separate points of view- the first from Eva, who tragically lost her husband a few years ago. The second from Madison, who's soon-to-be husband looks almost exactly like Eva's ex-husband. The third point of view is from Nicole, a new friend of Eva's who has a link to Eva's new husband. How does she fit into all of this?
Yes, the characters in this book got annoying at times. There wasn't a single relatable one. The weird twists and crazy turns that showed up in the last quarter of the book were unexpected. This was just a highly entertaining read. I really liked it!
I, of course, won't give away the ending, though I am not sure I could summarize it if I tried. The sheer drama of the wrap up will leave you shocked.
Thanks to Netgalley and Bookouture for allowing me an advanced digital copy to read and give my honest review. It was a 4 star read!
