The Second Husband by Louise Candlish

3.0

This is an engaging story that’s excellently paced but my word, the main character was so hard to relate to: Kate was a massive thickie. Even I saw where it was going fairly early on. She was so frustrating with her delusions and histrionics. Meanwhile, Roxy was a slimey little toad and I couldn’t fathom why Kate was so hellbent on chasing her across the world. They were both pretty unsympathetic.

The ending was rather unsatisfying. After everything, am I expected to feel good about that outcome? Because I don’t. I feel like we’ve been around the houses for nothing.
