The Scandal was written by the wonderful Nicola Marsh and published by my Bookouture besties. I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review. This book was released 07/25/19.
Marisa seems to have the perfect life-a brilliant husband, a giant mansion, and beautiful twin girls, but she has a secret. She tries to hold her life together by taking care of her best friends Claire and Elly, but they each have secrets of their own they're struggling to hide. When pregnant stranger Jodi magically shows up at Marisa's door, she is eager to help her with her "situation." The father of Jodi's child is someone all three ladies know, and the truth will turn everything upside down.
I couldn't put this book down. I would silently prop my kindle up in bed next to my sleeping fiance, so that if I fell asleep and dropped it there would be no damage. Marisa, Claire, and Elly are all so wonderfully flawed, each one of them so interesting in their own right. I found myself identifying with parts of each of them. I felt the stress on Jodi's shoulders being pregnant, poor, and floundering. As for the ending, it was truly perfect. It had me guessing until the very end. I would swear up and down I had it figured out, only to change to another view and swear that was the ending. This was a truly wonderful thriller. It was impossible to put down and the ending kept me guessing right up until the last page. Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for another brilliant 5 star thriller!
