The Love of My Life: A GMA Book Club Pick: A Novel

A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER | GOOD MORNING AMERICA BOOK CLUB PICK

“Gripping, heartbreaking and impossible to put down.”—Laura Dave

A dazzling supernova of a book, it picks you up on line one and doesn't let you go until the very end.” —Lisa Jewell


From the New York Times bestselling author of Ghosted comes a love story wrapped in a mystery: an up-all-night page-turner with a dark secret at its core

Emma loves her husband Leo and their young daughter Ruby: she’d do anything for them. But almost everything she's told them about herself is a lie.

And she might just have got away with it, if it weren’t for her husband’s job. Leo is an obituary writer; Emma a well-known marine biologist. When she suffers a serious illness, Leo copes by doing what he knows best – researching and writing about his wife’s life. But as he starts to unravel the truth, he discovers the woman he loves doesn’t really exist. Even her name isn’t real.

When the very darkest moments of Emma’s past finally emerge, she must somehow prove to Leo that she really is the woman he always thought she was . . .

But first, she must tell him about the other love of her life.

Another example of "everyone is normal until you get to know them." Lots of fun.

This started off slow but I am glad I kept at it. Heavy hitting issues of adoption and mental health done well. I will read more by RW. 8/10

One of my favorites--an unexpected love story and an intriguing mystery wrapped up in one. While advertised as a thriller...our group would say it was more of a slow-building suspense novel. Long-buried secrets, lies, and mistrust will rock the relationships in this must-read novel.
