"There’s someone I want you to meet," Belle says, as a man draws up to her side. He’s tall with dark hair and stubble on his square jaw. He’s not exactly smiling, but the corner of his mouth curls upwards as he slides his hand around my daughter’s waist.

Story
I nearly threw the letter about the inheritance away with the recycling. Late for work, worrying about how I would afford new school shoes for Kate, I just assumed it was a mistake. But perhaps moving to a new home in a quiet seaside town would be the fresh start we both need. Away from the school bullies making Kate’s life a misery, and out of the clutches of my dangerous ex.

The white-washed Italian villa is perfect. I thought it might feel odd, living in a stranger’s house for the summer, but as my husband and children swim in the infinity pool, I start to relax. And then, in the back of a wardrobe, I find something that shatters everything.... Sparkling green eyes, square jaw, lopsided smile. A young man with his arm around a beautiful woman. The picture is old and faded, but I’d recognize him anywhere. The man is my husband.

Story
The doorbell rings, just days after my beloved husband’s sudden death. I don’t recognise the woman on our doorstep, with her blonde highlights, a diamond bracelet identical to my own and a bouncing baby boy in her arms. As I show her inside, I notice her eyes grow wide as she takes in our spacious hallway, and the big squashy sofas that we all used to pile on. She glances at the silver-framed family photos and my little daughter hiding behind my skirts. She looks at me, her blue eyes serious. ‘I’m sorry’ she says. ‘I am your husband’s girlfriend. And this is his son.'

Samantha Frayn doesn’t know why Peter Bridges picks her - a nobody with bitten fingernails and a troubled childhood behind her - but she falls quickly. He’s older, charming, likes fine wine and French films, and his beautiful home has real art on its walls. Peter transforms Samantha’s life in an instant. He sees the better version of herself - the one she’s always wanted to be. It’s only normal that there’s a little friction, when she moves in, over domestic matters like where things are kept, or the proper times to eat, sleep, and shower.

OMG SOOOOOO NOT!!!!!!!!! a "gripping thriller"
- By Yorker on 2019-07-11
Written by: S. E. Lynes
Publisher's Summary
Returning early from a disastrous date night with my husband, I know something is wrong the moment the wheels crunch the gravel drive of our home. Inside, the TV is on and a half-eaten meal waits on the table. My heart stops when I find our little girl is alone in the house and our babysitter, Sasha, is missing....
Days later, when I’m arrested for Sasha’s murder and torn away from my perfect little family, I’ll wish I had told someone about the threatening note I received that morning.
I’ll hate myself for not finding out who the gift hidden inside my husband’s wardrobe was for.
I’ll scream from the rooftops that I’m innocent - but no one will listen.
I will realise I was completely wrong about everything that happened that night....
But will you believe me?
Twisted and absolutely unputdownable, Date Night exposes what goes on behind the closed doors of a happy home and the dangerous truths we ignore to protect the ones we love. Perfect reading for anyone totally gripped by The Wife Between Us, Friend Request or Gone Girl.

This book could have used a good Editor
I am only half way through and honestly, I am so confused because of all the time travelling between past and present. I think with good editing, this book would have been quite good . Unfortunately, I found it difficult to follow the plot because I was busy trying to figure out if the storyline was in the present or in the past. IMO, the reader is so distracted figuring out the timeline that they don't even realize that the suspense is building. The editor should have just suggested the traditional chapter titles of "Then" and "Now" instead of having the MC flash back to memories when she is in the present. It is soooo confusing. Will give a final review once I get through the confusing time shifts in the plot
I have finished the book & unfortunately, my review remains the same...
Maybe the weaving in & out of timelines is intentional trying to evoke a "meta" feeling (ie make us feel as confused & overwhelmed like the MC) but honestly, as a reader, it just made me feel like the story was all over the place. While the twist at the end is completely unexpected...I feel like there should have been more "easter eggs" sporadically dropped throughout the story to make it more believable. Instead, the story felt like it was super confusing and then, "BOOM" big reveal: unexpected plot twist and then the story ends.
The only redeeming quality of this book was honestly the narrator. If I was reading this book, I probably wouldn't have finished it.

An Alright Book
The book started in an interesting way, but as the story went on it became a bit predictable.
The main character was too naive and overall a weak person when dealing with her husband.
I found the author went into detail about things that didnt even need to be brought up at all. Made it hard to listen at some points.
