The Love of my Life by Rosie Walsh
From the New York Times bestselling author of Ghosted comes a love story wrapped in a mystery: an up-all-night page-turner with a dark secret at its core
I have held you at night for ten years and I didn’t even know your name. We have a child together. A dog, a house.
Who are you?
Emma loves her husband Leo and their young daughter Ruby: she’d do anything for them. But almost everything she’s told them about herself is a lie.
And she might just have got away with it, if it weren’t for her husband’s job. Leo is an obituary writer; Emma a well-known marine biologist. When she suffers a serious illness, Leo copes by doing what he knows best – researching and writing about his wife’s life. But as he starts to unravel the truth, he discovers the woman he loves doesn’t really exist. Even her name isn’t real.
When the very darkest moments of Emma’s past finally emerge, she must somehow prove to Leo that she really is the woman he always thought she was . . .
But first, she must tell him about the other love of her life.
I enjoyed reading this one. I’ll keep this short since there are some secrets that come out later in the book.
Emma and Leo have been together for about ten years. They have a young daughter. Leo finds some papers that Emma had hidden and they don’t make sense to him. It appears that she has been lying to him since they first met. He has no idea who is wife really is. Leo starts contacting people that Emma used to work with and starts putting everything together. During this time, Emma is facing things from her past too.
I gave this book 4 1/2 stars.
