About this ebook

Just four words were printed in the card. He doesn’t love you.


I’ve been dreaming about this day – marrying Adam, my childhood sweetheart, who I’ve loved for eighteen years.


I didn’t realise the perfect day would turn into the perfect nightmare.


I was so excited to send out the wedding invitations, carefully writing everyone’s names on thick cream paper in beautiful cursive script.


I had no idea I was inviting someone to destroy our marriage.


I couldn’t wait to say ‘I do’ surrounded by loved ones clinking champagne glasses.


I couldn’t imagine that one of them would try to hurt me.


It was meant to be the first day of the rest of our lives.


I never thought it would be the end of my life as I knew it.


We were meant to share our vows, to toast our future. But when the truth comes out, shocking the onlooking guests and ripping my heart out, is a happy ever after possible?


A completely gripping and totally addictive read that will get your blood pressure rising and send shivers down your spine. Fans of Date NightThe Sister-in-Law and The Girl on the Train will devour this twisty, dark and gasp-worthy page-turner in one swift gulp!

Rating: 4⭐️-I loved it. TW: Death. Cheating. Who doesn’t love a good thriller? Lauren is planning her perfect wedding to her perfect fiancé Adam. But when she gets a letter in the mail that says “he doesn’t love you”. Things begin to spiral and all Lauren’s plans go down the drain. I really enjoyed this book. It had short chapters to help push through quickly. Every time I thought I knew the “who” it changed. By the end it was pretty obvious who the “who” was but they why kinda fell flat for me. Overall I really enjoyed this book.

Once again, Ruth has written an unputdownable psychological thriller. Soon into the book, poor Lauren, the bride-to-be, starts to receive sinister gifts. Then came the scary happenings which absolutely set me on edge while reading. Cue the tension. I loved how the mystery then deepened. So many suspects but not once did I want to believe that any of them could be tormenting Lauren, but someone was and I had to stay up into the early hours to reach the end. I have to mention the Thailand location. It really made me feel as though I was there, making lockdown that little bit better. So I got a healthy dose of escapism too. Lauren was a likeable character, someone you can properly root for. The two main perspectives used in the book were Lauren and Adam, her fiancé. I found his chapters gave me further insight into what was happening and I enjoyed those just as much. I particularly loved the flashback chapters. The book starts with a deadly bang that had me turning the pages fast, and the revelations were shocking. Just when I thought I had it all sewn up, my theories unravelled which totally kept me on my toes. If you love a fabulous twisty turny read, then this is it!

Wow - I was left speechless after reading this. I have never read a book where I was so convinced I knew who was behind all of the problems, only to find out the real culprit wasn't even in my list of contenders. My prediction changed between 3 different people so many times only to find out I wasn't even close to right. This was truly one I did not want to put down because I needed to see the rest of the story unwind. This had my emotions all over the place. At one point, I was crying happy tears at a seemingly beautiful family reunion only to be screaming at the book pages later. It was a constant rollercoaster, filled with twists and turns. This was honestly one of the best thrillers I've ever read and I will absolutely be reading more by Ruth Heald. She has such a knack for throwing you off the trail and blowing your mind with the truth. I loved the ending of this and felt justice was served. This was an amazing book. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this advanced copy.
