Sassy Brit (97 KP) rated Her Husband's Lover in Books
Jun 5, 2019
Louisa Williams has really been through a tough time losing both her husband Sam and her two kids, so when her husband’s lover, Sophie appears on the scene (even in the hospital as Lou is trying to recover from some serious injuries) Louisa is frightened by this girl’s tenacity. Could she be dangerous?
Having tracked Louisa down, Sophie reveals she is expecting Sam’s baby and that as the father of her baby they are entitled to part of their estate! Well as you can imagine, Louisa is not having any of this, and cannot believe this young girl’s audacity! Who the hell does this Sophie think she is, coming into her life at a time Louisa is so unhappy and vulnerable?
While I was reading I could eventually see where this was going and the reality of what was the truth, and who was lying became a meaty part of the plot, which I devoured like the carnivorous meat-eating diner I am. Unlike the new guy, vegan-loving, hapless Adam of whom Louisa shacks up with, and unfortunately also gets wrapped up in the whole Lou and Sophie saga.
Julia Crouch has written a very exciting novel, and I really did not know what was going to happen at the end until it hit me! It’s a dark, twisty tale with some chilling scenes. I could not put it down. I would recommend this to anyone who likes sinister, domestic thrillers that have a surprising final conclusion you won’t see coming! Wish I’d got to this one earlier!

It’s fun. It’s emotional. And it definitely has the Mamma Mia vibes.
Apart from the things that don’t match the first film (for example the order that Dona met Harry, Bill and Sam isn’t correct) I really enjoyed the film and it definitely makes me dance to it.
It also has really good new actors, for example Lily James as young Dona and Cher as Sophie’s grandmother.

I liked the concept of this story and wasn't like anything I had read before. I wasn't reading it and thinking it was similar to anything else.
I was hooked from page 1 and couldn't put this book down.
You could hear the character's voices throughout the book and due to their descriptions I was able to see the characters. I also felt for them - I felt sorry for some and didn't like others. I wanted to sneer when I read about them.
My thoughts toward the main character changed throughout the book, in a good way. This was how she grew as a character and how she changed as she realised what her life and her personally were like.
