My Husband's Girlfriend is one of those psychological thrillers that is kind of like a pot of water sitting on the stove, quietly simmering away and then suddenly the story reaches boiling point! To say I enjoyed it was an understatement. The writing is absolutely spot on and totally snares the reader into becoming almost as desperately neurotic as Sarah is. I had total empathy for her though. I have been that woman!!

The clever way this is book is written is that its actually impossible to dislike Laura. She comes across as the perfect person you'd want in your child's life and yet even though little nuggets of information are dropped into the storyline that make you question her motives, you still have that sympathy for her and become totally caught up in her drama and her vulnerability. But, can we trust our own instincts here where Laura is concerned? As for her mother! Eurgh! What a horrible woman! Little Ollie however was just absolutely adorable! 

This book kept me gripped right through to the end, dangling clues at me throughout. And, what an ending! I've always loved Sheryl Browne's writing and I feel it just gets better with every book she writes.  This was such an easy, uncomplicated read and not bogged down with too much information and too many twisty turns to confuse the reader but enough to make you question everything and trust no-one!  I absolutely flew through it! Brilliant read and highly recommended.
