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.

Their story unfolds in alternating narratives, and we are swept away by the secrets and lies, wondering what truth is behind The Love of My Life.
So many pathways to follow to unravel the truth of their lives, and even as we begin to doubt that their love will hold on, we are eagerly hoping it will.
A story that kept me turning the pages, this one earned 4.5 stars for me.
