What She Didn't Know

The perfect weekend read! I was not expecting this book to be so dang good!
Literally I was hooked reading the blurb. This was a very quick read for me! I couldn't put my Kindle down long enough to do anything. The only thing I didn't care much for was the pacing I felt started off slow! But other than a really good quick book!

Sally Compton Scott felt blessed with her marriage to the magnetic, Tyler Scott. He was her everything. A successful executive at a marketing company, a passionate lover and considerate partner. Knowing finances were tight, she was surprised by Tyler’s gift of a trip to Antarctica for their sixth wedding anniversary. It was a place she had dreamed of since fourth grade.

Watching penguins, whales and seals in their natural white world was a dream come true with Tyler taking photos she would turn into scrapbooks celebrating their life as a couple. A freshly painted house awaited their return. She was looking forward to starting their family.

Children she could love, cuddle and raise to interesting adults. Her life was perfect. Until it wasn’t Perfect!

OMG what an amazing book. I literally could not put this book down. I stayed up all night til 6am to finish it then went to sleep and alarm went off at 9.45am! shattered but loved it so much. Great characters ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A second marriage to a much younger woman means Tyler Scott is having to manage two families in effect - his new wife and new home and his bitter ex-wife who has custody of his children.
Sally, the second wife, is shown to be a polar opposite to his first wife, who no-one likes. All Sally wants is now to have children with Tyler and complete her dream.
As the reader we get insight into all sides of the marriage and the desperate circumstances Tyler finds himself in. Until he dies on their 6th wedding anniversary trip to Antarctica. The reader gets to mull the question: was it murder; suicide or an accident.
Add to this a young widow finding herself again; discovering her perfect husband/marriage wasn't so perfect after all plus the bitter ex-wife slinging accusations and the life insurance policy investigator and you get an interesting read.
To be honest I didn't really like any of the main characters - but I have an idea the author perhaps meant it this way so that the reader can see the couple for who and what they are with no "rose-tinted glasses" on. It shines a light on marriages where everything seems perfect but the truth is so heavily hidden that one of the partners in the marriage are often not aware of the reality because they are only privy to part of the reality.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for allowing me the chance to read this book.

Wait... what?? My Kindle told me the story was ended, and I was still waiting for the story to start!
Where was the plot? This is a tough one to rate, because, on one hand, it kept my attention. In fact, I put down two other books I was reading to concentrate on it. I kept waiting for the plot to materialize, but it never did.

So I guess I'll give it 3.5 stars and round it off to 4.
