Mine - Courtney Cole
She read
While raising three children, one with a serious medical condition and starting a very successful cosmetic company, Tessa thought her marriage to Ethan was rock solid. But, she discovers he has been having an affair. Using subterfuge, she lures Ethan’s mistress, Lindsey, to her home while a hurricane rages outside. Both women behave shockingly as more and ore secrets are revealed.
Told in alternating viewpoints of the two women, I have mixed feelings about this book. As a longtime Florida resident, I found the implausibility of the beginning of the book disconcerting. Storms don’t come in that quickly. Even if Tessa was too busy to watch the news, potential storms are a big deal in Florida and talked about for days before landfall. If the family is so wealthy and the house has so many windows, why isn’t there someone they hire on a regular basis to help prepare for storms? And, where are there bluffs overlooking the ocean in Florida? Dunes maybe, but bluffs?
From that point on, I felt a lot of the book to be a bit unbelievable and, spoiler alert, the ending leaves some things unresolved. Yet, it was a fast, engrossing read….or perhaps I read it quickly to just get through it…….
