This book has a great premise, vey interesting and intriguing touching on a big no most people would agree no, cheating with a sister, Logically, this also makes it a book with unlikable characters and it lends itself to multiple perspectives. Overall, a solid read.

Shari Low is an auto buy author for me and this book is highly anticipated. A brilliant book about sisters, close bonds, betrayal, and gossip. A mystery to be solved between family, a ton of laughs, snark and fun. Loved this story, its a page turner.

This was a fantastic book - made all the better because the main characters stay in Glasgow! I thoroughly recommend it.

Sophie has just discovered that her husband of one month has left her after apparently sleeping with someone else and she wants to know who! Her sisters Verity, Marina and Yvie all have secrets they have been keeping from her and they all involve her husband in one way or another.

The book then flits back to different time periods over the last 18 months and from a life-changing period in their lives telling the story from each of the sisters’ perspectives.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an honest and unbiased review in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

Unfortunately, I have not been able to read and review this book.

After losing and replacing my broken Kindle and getting a new phone I was unable to download the title again for review as it was no longer available on Netgalley.

I’m really sorry about this and hope that it won’t affect you allowing me to read and review your titles in the future.

Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity.
Natalie.

“I just need to know...which one of you slept with my husband?” :-)

You have to read this - it keeps you guessing to the end. Shari Low is brilliant at drawing out relationships and developing emotional roller coasters. Which sister will you feel closest to by the end of the book.?
Please read this - you will not be disappointed.

One month after her wedding Zoe discovers her new husband has been misbehaving - with one of her sisters! Too many sisters, too much flicking back and even further back in time which as it happened so often, was irritating. It was confusing with the amount of characters, not to mention their partners, jobs, work colleagues etc. The whole family were quite unpleasant it has to be said. I liked the writing style and there were some comical bits to laugh out loud to. It would be a good holiday read and would pass the time nicely.

When you have a book with this title, you probably expect a love story about the couple that stayed married for only one month. Instead you get a family story of four very different sisters. Sisters that love each other, but also keep secrets from one another. What those secrets are is revealed to the reader chapter by chapter over the span of one and a half years. The author switches back and forth in time and between the sisters.

And, as is also the case with many of Shari Low's other books, this is not a simple chick-lit with superficial problems. Serious but realistic issues are tackled here. I cannot even say which of the sisters I found most interesting, I was curious about every single one of them and how it all plays out in the very end.

To be honest, when a book has time jumps, I don't love it. It took me a while to get into the book and I never really got into that easy flow reading. It has to be really well done and for me, the time jumps plus the jumps in point of view just made it very hard for me to follow.

Thanks to Netgalley for an honest review.

Who doesn’t love some family drama????!!!

Ok, so this was super fun, I loved the drama and the mystery but it was a bit annoying the whole lack of communication between the 4 sisters. It took me awhile to get into the chapters type (with the povs of the sisters and the past) but when I started to know everyone better it wasn’t a problem!

I don’t know why I thought Roger was like an old man, that was weird haha
Aaaaand I can’t believe I only figured it out in the last second!!!! I just couldn’t wait to get to the ending!!

This book took me awhile to read. I have never read anything from this author but it really wasn’t a page turner for me. I liked the story but I didn’t love it. The main problem for me were the time jumps. I really don’t like time jumps in a book and they can be confusing or just irritating. Also this had multiple perspectives which is really hard to do well in a story. What drew me to this book was the synopsis. I needed to know what’s going on with this husband? I was intrigued by what secrets there were. Overall this book fell kinda flat for me. It had potential but it just wasn’t for me. 2/5 stars

My One Month Marriage was a great book by Shari Low, well written and had me hooked from the first few pages. This book follows four sisters and their story of love, friendship and real life problems everyone can relate to at some times in their life. A fab read.

This book really intrigued me from reading the blurb. It took me a while to get into this story, I had to put it down for a little while and then come back. I am so glad I picked this book back up. Shari Low is a new to me author and I really enjoyed My One Month Marriage.

This book was not what I expected after reading the blurb. It was more than I was expecting and so different from anything I have read in a while. After Zoe gets married she realizes that her husband cheated on her with one of her sisters, she just doesn't know which one. She is on a mission to find out which one. She discovers more than she was expecting along her journey.

I enjoyed this book by this author and will be reading more of her work.

Trying to find out in your mind who slept with Zoe's husband.
Would your sister stoop so low.
Zoe's sisters Marina, Verity & Yvie have all got secrets of there own.
This is told over different timelines from the different sisters .
A great read
Thanks NetGalley

Make sure you cancel all your plans and switch off your phone because there is a new Shari Low to be read and, as always, it’s a fabulously funny and feel-good read packed with drama, humour and pathos that you will not be able to put down!

When Zoe Danton married the man of her dreams, she thought that she was going to be spending the rest of her life with the husband she loved with all of her heart. Zoe was going to spend decades with her groom and grow old with him. But the ink is not even dry on their marriage certificate when Zoe uncovers a shocking and devastating secret that shakes the foundations of her entire existence and leaves her with no other choice but to give him his marching orders. Zoe is heartbroken and devastated, but absolutely furious that one of her three sisters betrayed her in the most shocking and hideous manner imaginable and caused the end of her marriage. But while turning her back on the man who had cheated on her might have been possible, cutting your sister out of your life for good is not that easy – especially when you had made a promise as teenagers to stick together regardless of what life threw your way.

How can Zoe and her sisters recover from this most shocking of betrayals? Will she ever be able to trust them after they had destroyed her happy ever after? Can their relationship ever be repaired? Or now that the damage has been done, will Zoe end up kissing goodbye not just to her husband, but also to the family that means the world to her? Can Zoe and her sisters manage to untangle this web of secrets, lies and deceptions? Or will they end up all going their separate ways?

Shari Low has penned another winner with My One Month Marriage. A brilliant read about family, the ties that bind and the bonds that break, My One Month Marriage is a book that will touch your heart, make you roar with laughter and keep you reading all through the night. Shari Low grabs your attention from the very first page and keeps you glued throughout and My One Month Marriage is certainly no different.

Shari Low couldn’t write a bad book if she tried and My One Month Marriage is the latest must-read by this very talented storyteller.

This book has a very well developed plot and really good characters. This would've been a fluffy read if not for the affair which made it really juicy in the best way possible. Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for this ARC!

You know that "till death do us part" bit in the wedding vows? Well, Zoe Danton believed it. One month after she said "I do", the man she loved is gone, given his marching orders after Zoe discovered a devastating secret. As teenagers facing a crushing loss, Zoe made a pact with her three sisters to stick together no matter what. Now she's discovered that one of them may have been the reason her husband betrayed her. She's lost her happy-ever-after, but has she lost a sister too?

I loved reading this, it is so entertaining, so funny and so likeable. Low starts at the end with Zoe confronting her sisters and then we are taken back through their lives to see how they got to that situation. There are a lot of secrets along the way let me tell you.

The pure joy of this book are the wonderful characters Low has created, all of the sisters came to feel like my sisters. They have hearts of gold but of course they fight and bicker. I adored getting to know them, following them through their life choices proved interesting and incredibly entertaining. I loved that each of them has their own plot thread, it means we get to know all of them equally and adds in jeopardy over who might have betrayed Zoe. They are just a group of very likeable sisters of whom I became very fond of.

'My One Month Marriage' is a joy to read, incredibly funny and beautifully written I thoroughly enjoyed this read.

Thank you to NetGalley and Boldwood Books for an advance copy.
