There are lots of twists and turns in this book which keep you gripped right until the very last page. The plot was unique and unpredictable, and the twist at the end which I completely did not see coming. All the words, no matter how pretty, no matter how clever, if they don’t come from the heart, they mean nothing.

We follow Cleo and Heath, and their friend Trina, through university and beyond and grow to understand Cleo and Heath’s relationship.

Proudly announcing that TEA BOOKS is new Serbian publisher of Dorothy Koomson :) I fell in love with Dorothy's writing with her book "My Best Friend's Girl" and I became her first Serbian editor. DOROTHY KOOMSON is an award-winning, internationally bestselling author and journalist whose books have been translated into more than 30 languages, with sales that exceed 2 million copies in the UK alone. But now she has decided to walk away from it all – including divorcing her husband, Wallace – before her past secrets catch up with her. There is plenty of tension and suspenseful moments and some well thought out plot twists as it builds to a very good ending. A unusual and thrilling tale of long kept secrets and dangerous obsession, combined with a cast of very strong characters.

The twist didn’t make any sense and by the time it was finally revealed I had lost all interest and just wanted to get to the end as quick as possible. Why has she told the TV company that no more shows will be made, and why on earth is she divorcing Wallace? She falls for him and at first they are very happy together, but Heath isn't who he appears to be and his behaviour becomes out of control and his jealousy increases. They absorbed the nonsense and made me not mind as much if they went off on random tangents that were nothing to do with me. Dorothy’s novels have been translated into over 30 languages, and a TV adaptation loosely based on The Ice Cream Girls was shown on ITV1 in 2013.A clever and multi-layered dark thriller, My Other Husband is a gripping read that left me gasping in shock more than once. Dorothy’s first novel, The Cupid Effect, was published in 2003 (when she was quite a bit older than 13). My Other Husband is like a gigantic puzzle of obsession, control, secret lives, and past crimes, and I absolutely loved how the pieces slowly came together as we moved between past and present to unravel Cleo’s mindblowing past. The main character was likeable and her story was heartbreaking, the story was good and really well written, as are all of Dorothy Koomson's books. At its heart, this is a tale of obsession, which I found fascinating (though it took a while to get there), but then so much other stuff started happening with murders and revenge that this primary theme that I wanted to learn more about got buried.

Both of them love rom-coms and they use this to discuss the guy who was staring hard at Cleo who proves to be Heath Sawyer. She is a very different person in the present day and it’s intriguing trying to work out what, how and why her life has imploded. As the reader gets to know more about modern-day Cleo, we are also taken back twenty-five years to when Cleo was a university student. Her published titles include: Tell Me Your Secret, The Brighton Mermaid, The Friend, When I Was Invisible, That Girl From Nowhere, The Flavours of Love, The Woman He Loved Before, Goodnight, Beautiful and The Chocolate Run. We then go further back in time to 1996 to her days as a student at Leeds University where she becomes best friends with Trina.The many time changes and the different points of view made this difficult to follow at times as I found myself flicking back a few pages to check when the previous chapter was set. I have read several of Dorothy Koomson's other novels, including The Ice Cream Girls, The Brighton Mermaid and Tell Me Your Secret, and this novel, My Other Husband is just as good. For anyone that has read this authors books before, you know that you fall into the storyline hook line and sinker, and that you just keep reading.
