Another great book from Sinead Moriarty. This one is about three sisters who are very different from each other but yet each finds themselves in the middle of a personal crisis at the same time.

Julie, mother of four boys under 10, who is a stay at home mom and wishing there were more to her life. Due to a large inheritance she and her husband are in a new huge house and her triplets are in a new posh school. Her husband is tangled up with his job and investing the inheritance so he’s not around much. She can’t seem to make friends with the mothers at the school or her neighbors and is beginning to feel lost and lonely in this new life.

Sophie, divorced and bitter, is raising a 9-1/2 year old who acts like a rebellious 16 year old. She has gone from top model to part owner of a modeling agency after Jack lost everything they had in bad investments which ended in their divorce. Her ex’s girlfriend is 20 years younger than her and beautiful, something she was when Jack married her but now she feels faded and old and lonely and resentful of her daughter’s adoration of Jack’s girlfriend.

Louise, never married but raising a 4 year old daughter who is smart but different with her need for regimentation in her life or she quickly slips into a tantrum. Louise is busy being a top lawyer in her firm so she leads a very controlled life of work and home with Clara and not much time for anything else.

Each of these women feels they have to face their problems alone. So many secrets and no one to talk to until the sudden fatal secret of one of them brings them together.

Really, really well written and with wonderful character development. The story moved along smoothly and as sad as parts of it were there were also some lighter moments that had me laughing. This book was such a pleasure to read.

I really enjoyed this read. I found it to be a refreshing entertaining read with a great storyline.

This story revolves around 3 sisters.

Julie mum of four boys has always struggled financially but all that changes when her husband receives some unexpected inheritance. Can it bring her happiness?

Louise is a single mum of four year old Clara. I’m not gonna say much except to say well done to the author on dealing with the subject.

Sophie is now a single mum after her husband leaves her for someone younger.

Is secrets better kept quiet or shared?

Another great author I can stalk. I was brought up with Irish authors and I’m glad to find another one to follow.
