What
would you do if you learned that the life you lived was a lie?
Nina
McCarrick lives the perfect life, until her husband, Finn, is killed in a car
accident and everything Nina thought she could rely on unravels.
Alone,
bereft and faced with a mountain of debt, Nina quickly loses her life of luxury
and she begins to question whether she ever really knew the man she married.
Forced to move out of her family home, Nina returns to the rundown Southampton
council estate—and the sister—she thought she had left far behind.
But
Nina can’t let herself be overwhelmed—her boys need her. To save them, and
herself, she will have to do what her husband discouraged for so long: pursue a
career of her own. Torn between the life she thought she knew and the reality
she now faces, Nina finally must learn what it means to take control of her
life.
Bestselling
author Amanda Prowse once again plumbs the depths of human experience in this
stirring and empowering tale of one woman’s loss and love.
My
Review: DNF.
I
didn't like this book at all. Nina, is so annoying. Can't stand that her oldest
doesn't share his life with her, is embarrassed by her, etc. The typical
teenage stuff, and yet, takes it to heart way more that she should.
Then
there is the whole thing about her being stuck so so far into a shell. Doesn't
got out anymore, it's so bad that she doesn't get invited to anywhere anymore.
Birthday parties, wedding, cookouts, etc. Everyone just gave up on inviting
her.
Up to
this part, the book was just bad. The writing, I couldn't get behind anything
that was going on. Everything was all over the place. Then after Nina's husband
died, things barely changed.
I just
couldn't deal with it anymore after only a few chapters.
