Description:
“Beth Collins lives her life shadowed by a secret, one she believes
she can outrun by building a perfect family of her own with her attorney
husband, Danny. And for a while, it seems she has—until a freak car accident
kills Danny and shatters her world in an instant.
Desperate for a fresh start, Beth quits her job as a mortgage broker
and buys a café. As she settles into the rhythm of her new life, she finds
unexpected friendships, a sense of purpose, and eventually, even the spark of a
new romance.
But when mysterious details about the crash emerge, leading to
shocking secrets about her husband, Beth sets off on a search for answers.
Every revelation pulls her deeper into a world she could not have imagined and
forces her to confront the unthinkable—she’s mourning a man who never existed.
When the illusion she’s relied on collapses, Beth must decide what future she
wants and who the woman is she’s ready to become.”

she loves reading, traveling, and trying cocktails with creative names. She’s

Appraisal:
I loved this book. Beth, the protagonist has had her life disrupted in
extremely disturbing ways, starting with the car accident that kills her
husband and fetus that she hadn’t even told her husband about yet. As she
struggles to get her life back on a path that feels right to her, she keeps
running into things she couldn’t have anticipated and has to figure out the
situation and how to deal with it. You’ve got a few mysteries and a whole lot
of suspense through all of these threads, but are pulling for Beth all the way
as you wonder what life’s going to throw at her next.
