But Lily is not the only one with secrets. Her next-door neighbor Carla may be only nine, but she has already learned that secrets are powerful things. That they can get her whatever she wants.

MY HUSBAND’S WIFE by Jane Corry This was too long, and so dramatic. Spanning fifteen-ish years this story follows new lawyer Lily, her wannabe artist husband Ed, their neighbors, Francesca, and her daughter, Carla. While I do enjoy stories with unlikable or morally grey characters, these four were hella insufferable. Yes, even little nine year old Carla —what a brat! Lily and Ed were hopeless. Clearly they didn’t have much in common or even liked each other. The whole time I wanted to scream, “WHY are y’all still married?” Gah! At first I wasn’t sure how Carla’s storyline was relevant to Lily’s (other than becoming part time babysitters when Francesca was “dancing” with Larry), but by the midway point it became pretty obvious. Granted, there were twists and turns, with some disturbing and heartbreaking revelations, but overall this was lackluster at best. Rating: 3/5 ⭐️

Enjoyed!

This is a very good book. I really enjoyed it.

So slow....BORING...

This was probably one of the most boring books I've read. By 3 quarters in I was skimming pages. Don't waste your time.
