The author of The Girls Are All So Nice Here returns with a thriller set in the vineyards of Napa Valley that asks: what happens when the husband you thought died years ago shows up alive?
Ten years ago, June’s beloved husband drowned on their honeymoon, his body never found. Now, a decade later, June is finally ready to move on. She owns a natural wine bar in Brooklyn and is engaged to a patient, supportive man named Kyle. She’s excited to finally begin a new chapter in her life and start a family.
But out of the blue, she sees him—Josh, her first husband. Is this just a hallucination from the guilt June carries about finally moving on, or is it possible that her husband never died in the first place?
June tries to forget about this vision, chalking it up to grief and nerves, but soon enough, she stumbles across a website for a winery in Napa, and the owner in the photo is identical to her dead husband. With her upcoming wedding looming and a fiancรฉ who’s already worried she hasn’t quite left her past behind, June secretly flies to Napa for answers. But she’s not prepared for all the secrets she’s about to unlock because everything she thought she knew about her first love is a lie.
The Sexy Nerd's Review. . .
Wow! This is one of those stories where the past and present collide meeting somewhere in the middle and when it’s all said and done, only the strongest will survive. I absolutely loved this story. I’ve never read this author before, but she’s made a fan out of me for real.
Ten years prior, June was on top of the world. She and her new husband were ready to conquer the world if they had each other by their side. They had just finished making love and their spent energy caused them to be hungry. June’s husband gave her a gentle kiss and told her he’d be right back with a delicious breakfast. She advised him not to take too long as she purred and cooed for her amazing husband.
As giddy as June felt with being a newlywed and all the wonder that comes along with it, unfortunately a tragedy struck her like a huge punch to the gut. Josh was dead. He was a young man with hopes and dreams and ready to take on the world with June but his life was snuffed out faster than a flickering candle.
It’s now ten years later and although June went through hell and back, fate once again struck her heart, and she was about to get married to Kyle. Kyle was nothing like Josh, but the one true thing June loved about him is that he was so understanding and nurturing in dealing with her feelings on what happened in her past. Because let’s face it, June wasn’t willing nor sure if she was able to go through another heartbreak tragedy as she did ten years ago. Kyle loved June with all his heart and he would do everything in his power to make her happy.
Meanwhile, Bev Kelly, June’s ex-mother-in-law, was dealing with her own set of issues ten year’s ago. She had just given birth to another son while learning to deal with her eldest son, Josh. Even though there wasn’t any way Bev could know how heartbreaking it was for June to lose her husband, it was equally as devasting to her as a parent to lose a child. Especially, the nature in which Josh died—by drowning. Josh was an excellent swimmer. No one in the Kelly family could understand how Josh drowned. There had to be something more to it. But what? As Bev and June take the readers on both of their journeys, one thing is going to become very clear, did either of them truly know who Josh Kelly was? OMG! I loved, loved, loved this story!
You have two different women’s perspectives with one man in common between them. Both of their experiences were opposites, yet the same. What do I mean by that, you ask? You must read this awesome novel to find out! Oooooh Nerds, I believe this story is going on my all-time favorite list. Yasss!
What Flynn did was take a tragedy and allow the characters to invite us in to see for ourselves just what was going on. The story captures everyone’s view and perception so well. You will become so invested in this story that the rest of the world will completely disappear and the only thing you’ll be doing is concentrating on getting to the next page. I did not want to put this book down. I absolutely loved it.
The Sexy Nerd gives Till Death Do Us Part five additional wedding bells to toll. This was an incredible read. I really had to pace and allow myself some grace as to not devour this book in one day because I could have done it easily. I couldn’t wait until I had a break from work to get back to this story. Till Death Do Us Part goes on sale Tues., August 13, 2024, at your favorite book retailers or wherever books are sold. I’m telling you this is one of those books to take on vacation, sit back with drink in hand and get lost. I will never forget this story. It truly moved me. Until next time, Nerds, you know how we get down!
