About this listen
Everyone is guarding a secret in this picture-perfect town.
When Karolina Hartwell is arrested driving her son home, the headlines don’t tell the full story. It seems nothing will stand in the way of her husband Graham’s political ambition – not even his wife.
Miriam Kagan is convinced her husband Paul is hiding something. But if she digs too deeply, she’s afraid of what might tumble out of the closet.
Emily Charlton is new to Greenwich, but she soon discovers this is a small town built on big lies. And sometimes it takes an outsider to draw them out . . .
*Published in the USA as When Life Gives You Lululemons*

This isn’t a book of staggering literary importance but to be fair it doesn’t claim to be or try to be. That said the story is engaging and interesting, it does deal with some serious themes and this is done with wit, sensitivity and steel.
It is a very well written, the story drew me in, the characters were well written in a way that doesn’t patronise the listener. Recommended.
A light and satisfying listen.
