If you loved Leslie’s first book, Before Anyone Else, you’re in for an absolute treat with this sequel. This book is so unique in giving us the life after the happy ending in book one. You get to read about how even a perfect match can have their ups and down. This book takes you on a 23 year roller coaster going from past to present on how a marriage evolves s and the impact a child has on a marriage. There’s a murder mystery element with a small twist that adds a touch of suspense. This read was fantastic!

Bailey is charged for the murder of her ex husband. She knows it wasn’t her, but could it be her husband Griffin? Or her daughter, Charlie? Well in that case cuff her now because she would take the fall for them before she lets her loved ones go to jail! Before we learn who the true killer is, Ms. Hooton takes you from present to the past starting when Bailey first got pregnant with Charlie to her current predicament. We get to see the ups and downs of her relationship with her husband Griffin and their daughter Charlie. This is raw beauty in book form and I just couldn’t get enough of it. Leslie we need a 3rd book ASAP!
