Story
When Ella boards a sumptuous charter off the coast of Australia, she feels…dread. Her husband, Mac, the social butterfly who makes these wellness retreats so much easier to navigate, is stuck at work, leaving her exposed to the other passengers. Luckily, she forms an instant bond with the charismatic Chloe, a newly single woman salving a broken heart. But as the friendship grows, Ella discovers they share more than the need for an escape, and their devastating connection has the power to forever alter their lives.

Story
Last night, we celebrated our anniversary. Over candlelight, we talked about the children, our work, and I was so happy, and felt so loved. But the next morning, when I check my phone, there is a message. From a friend. And a string of photos appear of my husband, Will, with another woman: walking along the street holding hands. Going into fancy hotels. Standing at a window, his arms around her, her head on his shoulder…

Publisher's Summary
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Good Sister and The Mother-in-Law with new novel Darling Girls out now.
In a moment of maternal despair Essie once made a terrible mistake, one she will always regret. Essie has since recovered, but she fears what may still lurk inside her.
Her neighbours in Pleasant Court have their own issues. Driven and organised, Ange has everything under control, except perhaps her husband. Practical, intellectual Fran can't stop running. For exercise, or something else?
Then one day, Isabelle arrives and appears to be very curious about her neighbours. Too curious, some might say.
It soon becomes clear that Isabelle's choice of neighbourhood was no accident . . .

Great book, but...
I really enjoyed this book, such a well constructed story and never boring. My only complaints are the use (in my version) of Americanisms such as flip flops and bangs, why not stick with thongs and fringe, its an Australian novel performed by a woman with an Australian accent, would seem to make sense to use Australian terminology. When i read an American novel it doesn't bother me at all reading it In the american language, its part of the whole experience, its usually set in the states so it makes perfect sense and adds to the feel if all expressions are ones used by the American population...Im unsure why the author wouldn't want to remain more true to the story and the setting by using the Australian terminology even if the version is meant for the American public, i'm sure they'd get the drift, perhaps even get a better feel of being in Australia. The other one and almost a more serious crime is the use of the word illegitimate, i'm utterly surprised by its use. It's an archaic word not used in reference to children being born out of wedlock or the product of infidelity in our society any more and not for a long while, thankfully. I'm still so surprised and disappointed even as I write this review. What was the author thinking. Did she think her American readers would benefit from the use of that word in some way, I think it makes Australians come across as small minded prudes which actually went against how I felt about who the characters were. Other than that, really well written and (almost) thoroughly enjoyed.

Underwhelming.
I kept waiting for the promised plot twists but they never came. Only finished listening as I was on a long drive. Very suburban and boring.

A really enjoyable listen, plenty of twists and turns to keep you interested. My first Sally Hepworth book but definitely not my last.

Thank you Home and Away
Funnily enough, I found this book because a character one Home and Away was reading it and I usually find the best books by accident and this was no exception! This was a great book and so easy to listen to! I thought I had the plot twists all worked out but was definitely surprised. Loved it!!

Soapy
I really enjoyed The Soulmate but I don't think I'll keep going with her older books. They seem to lack the flow, narrative and engaging storylines of the newer ones. This one in particular felt way too soap-like, and the 'good' relationships a little too cute.

A nice wholesome listen
This was an easy listen for my commute. The story had enough momentum to keep me I retested and I enjoyed the jump between a few different character plot lines.

Loved this one
I heard the recommendation from the Mamamia Outloud podcast and they were right… Sally Hepworth is a great writer.
Several plot lines play out in the book, so it stays interesting.
