The Girlfriend by K.L. Slater - Book Review

Book Description

My husband’s dead. She’s at my door. She owns my home…

The doorbell rings, just days after my beloved husband’s sudden death. I don’t recognise the woman on our doorstep, with her buttery blonde highlights, a diamond bracelet identical to my own and a bouncing baby boy in her arms.

As I show her inside, I notice her eyes grow wide as she takes in our spacious hallway, and the big squashy sofas that we all used to pile on. She glances at the silver-framed family photos and my little daughter hiding behind my skirts.

She looks at me, her blue eyes serious. ‘I’m sorry’ she says. ‘I know this will be hard to hear. But I am your husband’s girlfriend. And this is his son.’

My world implodes. And then she tells me that she owns our home – and that she’s not going anywhere…

What I Thought

Life is perfect for Jennifer, her husband Cole and the two kids. Until that dreaded knock at the door. Cole has been involved in a car accident and has died. Jennifer’s world has shattered, and she is distraught. A few days later while still deep in grief, another knock at the door. This time her world shatters again! Standing in front of her is Cole’s girlfriend and child!

Jennifer’s nightmare has only just begun. The girlfriend claims the house is hers, but something is not quite right. There are too many secrets and lies. What the hell is going on??

The Girlfriend is full of twists, very fast-paced and hard to put down. Another fantastic read from K.L. Slater!
