For readers of Elin Hilderbrand, a delicious and irresistible commercial novel set among the high society galas and gossip of Palm Beach.I love books about how "the other half" lives, so I'm excited about all the galas and wealth, plus it seems like there will be a good dose of drama!
Amid the glamour and galas and parties of Palm Beach, Faith knows that image often counts as much if not more than reality. She glides effortlessly among the highest of the high society so perfectly that you would never suspect she wasn't born to this. But it wasn't always so; though she hides it well, Faith has fought hard for the wonderful life she has, for her loving, successful husband, for her daughter's future. In this town of secrets and gossip and rumors, Faith has kept a desperate grip on everything she holds so dear, built from so little. And yet even she--the only one who knows just how far she has to fall--never suspects from which direction, or how many directions all at once, betrayal will come. - from Goodreads
I love books that feature "the other half" as well. I always think of The Great Gatsby when I read books like these. I hope that you enjoy it! :)

Thanks, Mary!
DeleteDefinitely sounds like there will be drama. Makes me think of the BritCom "Keeping up Appearances." But it sounds like this book is more serious and the woman has had to work hard to get where she is.
ReplyDeleteYes, her story sounds pretty layered!
DeleteYeah "other half" stories can be fun! That's probably why I love all those English country house stories- I secretly want to live in one lol.
ReplyDeleteYes!! Me, too!
DeleteI am sure that part of this book is interesting, but I am worried it might have too much drama for me. I will watch for reviews!
ReplyDeleteRight, this could easily become too much!
DeleteI love books like this too and agree that it sounds like there's lots of potential for drama.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Suzanne!
DeleteThis does sound really good, Angela! A nice change of pace with some drama, too! Enjoy!
