Brigitta Moon just finished last week. Really good-especially second half. You MUST preorder their next January release An Anonymous Girl. It blew Wife Between Us out of the water and was easily one of my top three fav books of all time. Oh my god! Got an advanced reading copy. Anything else similar toThe Wife Between Us you would recommend ?

@Monique I stayed up the whole night reading The Wife Between Us. I haven’t been doing too much reading lately. I’ve been working on my series, but when the next book comes out I’ll have to get it. I will have to start reading early in the day so I don’t miss a night of sleep 🙂

I forget the title, but there were big bright ladybirds on the cover. I did not just read it in one day, I read it 5 or 6 times in an hour! Aloud. My friend’s toddler was very impressed and also captivated and so my friend got to take a shower. Did you know ladybirds spoke in rhymes only? Books are amazing!
