What do you do when you know your partner has cheated on you, but continues to lie about it when confronted? That’s the dilemma Kate has when she discovers husband Adam’s flirty emails to another woman on his computer.
Lover is an uncomfortable read for anyone in a relationship as all trust between the couple is smashed to pieces from the start. Yet central character Kate is strong, honest and endearing.
How she holds herself together while parenting her two young children, working as an executive and trying to get her head around the betrayal is an inspiring but pain-filled read.
The characters in Anna Raverat’s second book are so real – flawed, vulnerable and confused. Kate’s ultimate decision doesn’t come until the close, but her journey to get to that point is compelling stuff.
What she chooses for her and Adam’s future doesn’t really matter in the end, all that’s important is her heart is whole again.
