It only took me about a day to read The Love of My Life by Rosie Walsh. I was hooked from the beginning. There were a lot of twists and turns and right when I would think I had it figured out, something else would happen and it would bring the novel in a whole other direction. I could not bring myself to put it down and I just wanted to finish it, so I could finally figure everything out.
Leo is an obituary writer. Emma is a marine biologist who is well known. When Emma suffers from a serious illness, Leo copes by researching and writing about Emma’s life. The more he digs into Emma’s life, the more he realizes everything Emma has ever told him is a lie. She has even lied about her name. As the darkest moments of Emma’s past are coming to light, she must prove to Leo she really is who Leo thinks she is, but she also must tell him about the other love of her life.
This book took me on a wild ride. Every time I thought I figured things out, something else would happen. It was just so unpredictable and I love when a thriller mystery can do that. It was not until the end of the novel that I knew what was going on. It was all just so different from any other thriller I have ever read. I also really liked the characters. They were all likeable and real. I found myself rooting for them all and wanting the best for all of them.
I gave this book 4.5/5 stars. I would highly highly recommend this book. Especially if you like thrillers and mystery. I am not kidding when I say I almost finished it in one night. I desperately needed to go to sleep, which is the only reason I did not finish it in one sitting. I have been in a bit of a reading slump lately and this book completely helped me slip out of it. It was a fast paced read and it just flowed so well. If you are looking for a good thriller to read I highly recommend The Love of My Life by Rosie Walsh.
