Publisher's summary

This title contains mature themes, strong language, and sexual content. Listener discretion is advised.

Your husband’s dead. He’s never coming back. So why is he on a dating site asking you to go out with him?

Then

Linda has it all: a gorgeous home, a devoted husband, two loving daughters. But she throws it all away to chase an impossible dream.

Now

Linda is alone and penniless, living in a shabby rented flat. With nothing to lose, she signs up to a dating app for the over 50s. But the one man who responds to her profile, a man calling himself Tony Fortin, is not who he says he is.

Linda recognises him immediately. He’s Marcus, her second husband.

But that’s impossible. Marcus died eight months ago. He drowned off the coast of Corfu.

As Linda digs deeper, she discovers that the man she married second time around had been keeping secrets from her. Very dark secrets.

Now the one person who can help her is the person who has every reason not to get involved.

Her first husband.

Tedious Read

I did plod through the whole novel and glad Linda finally found herself but it took long enough! Her character was quite irritating throughout the book with her indecision and wishy-washy personality. Frankly, I tried to empathize with her but it was hard. You can’t just do what you want and still play a victim if things don’t work out like you’d like. She always did what she wanted but got irritated at any perceived slight from someone else. And gracious she was only in her 50’s and her emphasis on being an “old” woman was somewhat unrealistic.

Annoying main character

I spent so much time yelling at my phone or my car stereo because the main character was annoying and just not likeable. There were quite a few things that didn’t line up, were completely unbelievable, or just nonsense. Anyway, I stuck it out until the end but would not recommend it. It was free in audible plus or I’d have been annoyed to have spent money on it.

Lots of twists but too long

I like the story - lots of twists, some predictable, some not. However it went on too long and I found myself just wanting it to come to an end. I also thought finding her “perfect match” was an odd addition of the story.

Bizarre plot, great narration

If not for the narration, the plot and protagonist would have killed off any hope of redemption. The character was unlikeable and annoying, but not in an ironic tongue in cheek way. At no point was I rooting for her, so I finished the book out of sheer curiosity.

Excellent storyline—lots of twists and turns

The story will keep you guessing and the narrator is a delight to listen to.

Don’t know who I was rooting for?!

I don’t know if it was the performance of the narration or the main character, but she was an unlikable antihero/main character. Don’t know if I liked any of the characters.

Lies secrets and relationships

I enjoyed the reader. The story felt a little too hard to follow at times.
