➜ Jill Is Not Happy by Kaira Rouda is LIVE & it gave me a massive blurb jolt!!! <— HOLY MOLY MASSIVE BLURB JOLT PSYCH-THRILLER
ALERT!! And I’m not just saying that because the author is today’s newsletter sponsor. In fact, this book sounds right up my alley and I AM DYING TO READ THIS!!!! Just read this blurb and you’ll know, it just SCREAMS “Maryse”!!! I WANT IT!!
"...Jack would rather do anything else than drive to Utah with his wife. He’s only stayed in this marriage because
of a shared secret, a tragedy in the past he wanted to keep buried. And for his daughter’s sake. But Jack is finished with the charade of his marriage. He’s filing for divorce as soon as they return, no matter what.
But he doesn’t
realize what else Jill is hiding.
So begins a cat-and-mouse road trip as a cunning wife—think Ripley in yoga pants—and a reluctant husband match wits and drive each other to the edge. But everything will be fine. Jill still loves Jack and believes he’s the only one for
her. She’ll do anything to keep him. Anything. She always has..."

➜ READER REQUEST – Our favorite books featuring love triangles, infidelity & “Other Woman” drama… <— Tammie is looking for one of my favorite tropes. Why is it a favorite? Because it’s got so much potential for unrequited love drama, angst, and kindle-throwing, absolutely
gutting heartache, and…personal growth.
Maybe even groveling. Or maybe no growth, and then it’s just a torrid messy of infuriating, head-shaking delight!
She asks:
Do you have any angst, other woman drama, where H is engaged and falls for
another?
Very specific, I know LoL
