When I saw this offered as an AMAZON FIRST selection for APRIL, I didn’t even NEED to read the other descriptions! I loved “Best Day Ever” (5 ⭐️) and also enjoyed “The Favorite Daughter” (4 ⭐️)
This one takes third place of the three, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t fun to read. It’s just a much more simplistic plot. The kind of story many of us give the popcorn 🍿 bucket to.
A light, entertaining book you can read in a sitting or two, but not one that will stand out from the crowd if you are a die hard thriller reader like I am!
I caught a CLUE early on and predicted the outcome.
Kate Nelson had it all. The husband. A beautiful daughter. And, a business that she and John built together.
Until the typical mid life crisis reared its ugly head-and John divorced Kate for Tish, a woman just a few years older than his daughter Ashlyn.
Tish thought she won. Until she discovered that John and Kate seemed to be growing closer again as the business celebrated its first IPO. She is not going to allow Kate to take him back.
Oh John! To be loved this much...
Mrs. Nelson vs. Mrs. Nelson !
May the games begin!

John was a lucky fellow to have two women fighting over him. I'll read this some day since I don't have Amazon first reads. Wonderful review Jayme!

I loved Best Day Ever too and would have easily selected this as Amazon First book this month if I wasn't on my hiatus from The Adjective Family Member books. Even though I wish for your sake you had liked it a bit more, your 3.5 rating lessens my FOMO. ;)

Great review Jayme and it does sound like fun but I need a break from “perfect lives” going down the gurgler (another ye olde Aussie phrase)!
This my First Reads pick too! Great review! Glad it was a fun read. Hopefully it'll be fun for me too! 🍿😊

I loved "Best Day Ever" and picked this for my Kindle first read. Sounds like it's not as good. Good review, Jayme!
