Book Review: "Her Perfect Life" By Rebecca Taylor

Everyone believes the grass is greener but truly all you need is some water from time to time.

Folks, we have here a story of perfection but is it really perfect?

Well, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and sometimes an eye for an eye is needed to even up all sides.

With this one we see two women (sisters) who have lived lives they each thought was better than the other with two interesting timelines.

One with Eileen after revealing her sister Clare's sudden and unexpected suicide.

The other with Clare and the time frame leading up to the decision making process as well as the flawed life as a writer.

I first must note the interview with Rebecca Taylor in the end was quite interesting so make sure you don't miss out.

It was full of the writing process in determining ideas to put to paper and the Olympics with Michael Phelps and the two women supporting him was the basis for this writing.

Fascinating to read how it all came together for Rebecca as this is a first read for me with her novel.

There was plenty to interest the appetite in this one from thrillers to plot twists to characters full of colorful dimensional facets to their lives.

The masterful plot twist near the end was magnificent on several levels. 

The mother of the women has alzheimers but eventually spills the beans but not before doing some covering for Clare.

Clare and Eileen both had flaws and hardships to endure but came out of them with distinct individuality.

Clare's outcome was written by several reviewers as expected and probable but I suppose I'm a slow learner because it was unexpected for me.

Her death resulted because of this connection to Adam and what happened the night he was accused of driving drunk.

It's a shocker because that decision process in driving that day changed many lives.

The question that must be asked is do you feel confident that Adam was the sole driver behind the wheel? Could there be others involved?

Now with Eileen we question her ability to move forward after her cheating husband.

Give a girl a pen she rewrites the story her way.

No worries, Eileen is all good as a soon to be divorcee with some bright spots on the horizon and possibly a new romantic partner.

This ties it all up in the end to create a wonderful piece of fiction.

Thank you to Rebecca, the publisher, NetGalley, and Amazon Kindle for this ARC in exchange for this honest review.
