Your Guilty Secret by Rebecca Thornton
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

You know Lara King.

The top billing of the showbiz pages, you've seen her every morning; over your breakfast, on your commute to work. You know everything about her; you've dissected her life.

Her perfect relationship with film-star Matthew Raine. Her beautiful six-year old daughter Ava.

And so when a terrible incident shatters the family's carefully constructed facade, a media frenzy ensues.

What happens when the perfect woman begins to unravel? When her whole life is really just a lie? One she will do anything she can to stop you from finding out?

I almost put this down as it was so boring to start with - Lara King is supposed to be the biggest star in the world, a beautiful house, great career and a daughter who she has made into part of the brand. The 'announcement' they are all gearing towards was such an anti climax. It didn't materialise until page 150 by which time I really didn't care but the let down was the 'announcement' being that she was getting engaged!! In addition to this, something had been going on in the pool house - another anti climax. This had meant to traumatise Ava the daughter which is thought to have caused her to run away.

Add the blog of a obsessed fan and his rantings this novel was a mess. Did I care about her? No. Was I invested in the story line? No. Even the ending which was a twist of sorts still left me unimpressed. Disappointing, over hyped and only just average writing. Sorry not for me 2 stars.

I would like to thank the publisher for sending this in exchange for an honest review.
