I Made a Mistake
In Poppy Page's mind, there are two types of women in this world: those who are faithful to their husbands, and those who are not. Until now, Poppy has never questioned which she was.
But when handsome, charming Matthew Gordon walks back into her life after almost two decades, that changes. Poppy makes a single mistake - and that mistake will be far more dangerous than she could imagine.
Someone is going to pay for it with their life . . .
A thriller this is not. It has to be the most clichéd book I have every read.
Domestic abuse, post natal depression, abortion, infidelity, suicide, murder, the list goes on.
The story is told from two points of view, and this is getting tiring, everyone is doing it and most times it drags out a book as the story repeats.
Poppy is weak willed and spineless and I have no sympathy whatsoever with her. Betty her mother in law isn't much better. Her story of going around to her friend's house every day to help just doesn't ring true. She didn't live next door. She would never have had the energy, especially as she had a husband who did nothing about the house.
A really laborious and dull read. Not an author I will be reading again.
Thank you to NetGalley and the Publisher for my ARC in return for an honest review.
