However, I was bitterly disappointed. I could just not get into this at all, I found the storyline boring and only continued with the book to see if it did improve, but sadly no it didn't. I feel bad giving a negati Maya is tragically killed by a bus when she steps off a street corner. Part of the book is determining if it was suicide, an accident or if she was pushed. In what ways are Maya and Luke similar? What do you think sparked their connection with each other? I received a copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest and fair review.
Prepare to totally forget about your family as you become immersed in someone else’s. Stellar Magazine While I didn't LOVE this book, I did like it a lot. I especially found it very interesting that all of Adrian's families and children are involved with on another even to the point of vacationing together. I've never seen that happen in real life! The story wasn’t really about Maya, or even the other wives and their children it is about Adrian. While there are POVs from the children and Maya it is told primarily from Adrian’s perspective who I found to be a frustrating and unsympathetic character.Maya had a job she enjoyed; she had friends. They'd been in love. She even got on with his two previous wives and their children. In fact, they'd all been one big happy family. The mystery begins when Adrian decides to find a new home for Maya's cat and posts a note on a bulletin board at the post office. A woman answers the add (we first learn she watched him post the ad and she takes it with her) but ultimately decides not to adopt the cat. BUT...she leaves her phone at Adrian's apartment and he tries to find her.
But one tragic accident smashes your perfect life to pieces. Because everyone has secrets, and secrets have consequences. We meet Jane... (The mysterious woman), who answers Adrian's add. She comes to see the BILLIE -the CAT, a couple of times. She even considers dating that cat to decide whether or not to take him. We know something is odd about this woman immediately, but we don't know what. She leaves her phone behind...(with no phone numbers on it except Adrian's) Penguin's profile of Lisa Jewell". Archived from the original on 9 September 2010 . Retrieved 20 August 2009.ABOUT THIS BOOK: In the early hours of an April morning, Maya stumbles into the path of an oncoming bus. She saw a bus bearing down, bouncy and keen. She squintedinto the white light on the front, looking for a number. It slowed as it neared her and she turned and saw a bus stop to her left, with people standing at it. She closed her eyes, gripped the lamppost tighter as she felt her balance slip away from her. She smiled to herself. This was nice. This was nice. All this color and darkness and noise and all these fascinating people. She should do this more often, she really should. Get out of it. Live a little. Go a bit nuts. A group of women were walking towards her. She stared at them greedily. She could see each woman in triplicate. They were all so young, so pretty. She closed her eyes again as they passed by, her senses unable to contain their images any longer. Once they’d passed she opened her eyes. An emotionally intelligent, brilliantly plotted and beautifully written examination of a very modern family that will keep you gripped until the end. Daily Mail, Books of the Year How would you describe Cat’s relationship with Adrian? What was she hungry for in her relationship with him?
