The Love of My Life: Another OMG love story from the million copy bestselling author of The Man Who Didn't Call

Product Information

The Love of My Life is my favorite kind of thriller—gripping, heartbreaking and impossible to put down.”

I listened to the audiobook narrated by Imogen Church and Theo Solomon who are the voices of Emma and Leo. They narrate with passion and believability that bring the characters to life. What a great listen! All in all, povestea vă va prinde și veți fi curioși să aflați ce ascunde Emma și de ce și-a ascuns trecutul.stars--There's nothing wrong with this book, but I guess I was expecting more of an emotional punch after Ghosted. I listened to it as an audiobook and the dual narrators did a fantastic job keeping the story moving forward.

In a Nutshell: Great in bits and pieces but doesn’t come together into a cohesive whole. This might have ended up a strong favourite of mine if I could have connected with the writing style better. But the disconnect with the plot and the decisions of one MC resulted in a strictly average experience. This is one of those books where I thought I could see from the beginning where things were headed (and not the obvious direction Walsh tries to steer the reader toward), so I thought I was really smart ... until I realized that I was completely wrong! Walsh does a masterful job at throwing a wrench into everything at just the right time. I loved both Emma and Leo's characters, which is quite a feat for Walsh to accomplish as there are circumstances that make Emma a very complex character, but yet I was rooting for her every step of the way. I appreciated the fact that Walsh made it a point to show that not all spouses who are hiding things are murderous psychopaths - sometimes the secrets are brought about by despair, loss, and even love. But what I found the most interesting was that uncovering those secrets was just as intriguing as finding out whether someone was a murdering psychopath. Let’s put it this way, if it weren’t for work I would have been able to finish this book in a day.” In highly readable narrative, Rosie Walsh delivers well-developed, lovable characters, lots of dynamics, and interesting plot points (I now want to travel the world looking for rare crabs). 🦀 I'm mesmerized by this general thriller/poignant love story. This is impossible to put down. It is about the secrets we keep from the one we love the most and the price we pay to keep them. Told in two POV's into past and present, it will give you so many twist, turns, heartbreaks and a secret hidden so well you will not see coming. The way the story is written captures the characters with love, laughter and heartbreak for those we protect. Their second guessing comments and thoughts were real and sometimes humorous. I could not get enough.

This one is a slow-burn with lots of tension and suspense. As we uncovered Emma’s secret, the layers were so well executed and developed that every curve ball and reveal kept me guessing. It isn’t very often that these types of slow-burn thrillers keep my attention and I was hooked until the very last word. Emma and Leo have a great life. Emma is in remission from blood cancer, she and Leo have a beautiful daughter, and fulfilling jobs - until one day when obituary writer, Leo, uncovers something that unravels everything he thinks he knows about his wife. Emma has always feared that if Leo found out the truth, he would never forgive her, and it looks as if she was right. The secret(s) are deep and the trust is something Leo already struggles with.

The setting drives the story with her study of a rare crab and the connection it makes to her past. A beautiful life may soon be torn apart when Leo uncovers it all. An actress from the Rothschild's family goes missing, and Leo discovers a connection between the two. What is she hiding? Emma goes missing when he begins to connect the dots with the evidence from her past. Combining the gripping pace of a psychological thriller with the tenderness and sorrow of a love story gone wrong, this one’s a winner.” As their relationship begins to strain, it feels real and heartbreaking. The breach of trust is at a place where Leo feels betrayed. What he discovers about his wife leads him to believe he doesn't know her at all. Emma is sure she has lost the love of her life! What do you do when you find out everything your wife ever told you about herself is a lie?Allow Rosie Walsh’slove story slash mystery, The Love of My Life, to explain.” 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 bydoing what he knows best – researching and writing about his wife’s life. But as he starts to unravel the truth, he discovers thewoman he loves doesn’t really exist.Even her name isn’t real.Intrăm în acțiune și suntem bombardați de trăiri și sentimente încă de la început - tipa s-a luptat cu cancerul, era să moară, poate să moară... iar tipul se apucă să îi scrie obituarul, astfel descoperind câteva frânturi din ce ascunde soția sa. Și de aici începe totul. which i dont think is inherently a bad thing if the transition between genres is seamless, but the flow and pacing in this definitely feels disconnected at times. i enjoyed reading the mystery section the most. i think the misdirections are done well and it creates a really good plot for a domestic thriller. i would have loved for this vibe to remain throughout the entire story. but the other sections are decent - i love how quintessentially british the talk about relationships and jobs is. Perfect for your next book club, Rosie Walsh’s The Love of My Life is a love story meets thriller about the complexities of deceit within marriage.” Readers in the U.S. have really been loving The Love of My Life. I get it. Rosie Walsh’s latest novel is full of twists and turns, and I never was fully certain where the story would go.

In terms of its premise, the book felt tailor-made for me. I loved the drama plus mystery vibes in the blurb. However, this doesn’t transform well to reality. The book seems like a hodgepodge of various genres – romance, suspense, family drama, literary fiction, domestic thriller – without doing justice to most. This is a book that for some reason, I was certain I was not going to like, and it totally took me by surprise. It's part domestic thriller/part romance, but wholly captivating, and I loved it! I noticed that many other GR reviewers went into this believing it would be a standard thriller. (That blurb does come across as ominously dark.) For the most part, Rosie Walsh's last few novels do have mysterious or thriller elements to them, but what I always go to this author for is emotional and psychological tension and drama. THAT she can do very well!

This family just captured my heart and had me 110% invested in their future as a unit. Walsh did a fabulous job in creating a world filled with laughter - as well as horrendous mental suffering! - that I could disappear into for the duration of this story. And to think, the author was pregnant and/or had a newborn to take care of while she was writing this book. Respect and Applause, Applause, Applause! Walsh masterfully shows both [protagonists’] points of view while maintaining an intoxicating air of mystery…a propulsive thriller with heart that will keep readers guessing.” How do we really build a new life? About the mystery of identity and the sometimes cost of love, Walsh’s latest is a stunner.” The exploration of trust - and the loss of it - in a marriage was very well examined and portrayed. Poor Leo! But, oh my, poor Emma, too! So tortured, so brave, but at the same time unable to find the courage to tell Leo the truth - for so many valid reasons, of course, but still.....! I read Ghosted a few years and loved it because it went in an unexpected direction. So I was very excited to sit down with the author's latest book, The Love of my Life. Thankfully it was a another great read. There's just something about opening up a book and not quite knowing what the author has in store for you. The fact Rosie Walsh is able to pull that off that feeling until darn near the end is pretty remarkable.
