The Love of My Life by Rosie Walsh- Book Review

This was my first book by Rosie Walsh, and it didn't disappoint! Book Club pick and I thought it was great. I couldn't put this book down. As soon as I finished I immediately added her book, Ghosted, to my wishlist.

The Love Of My Life explores the lives of Emma and Leo. They have a happy marriage of ten years, a darling daughter, and ... secrets. So many secrets. And Emma is at the root of all of them.
