Summary
What if the perfect life you envy was rotten to the core?
Three brand-new friends. Three very different families. Way too many secrets.
Gisela, Sally and Kate become close when they move into the same new housing estate. But behind their shiny front doors, each has something to hide.
Gisela’s Facebook profile is plastered with photos of her high-achieving son - #soproud; her teenage daughter - #bestfriends; and her gorgeous husband - #lovemyhubs. She’s the envy of everyone she knows, but how long can she keep covering up the truth?
Sally is married to her soul mate - or so the champagne glasses glinting in front of another tropical sunset seem to suggest. But what will it take for her friends to realise the life she claims to adore is breaking her heart?
Kate is a single mum. She uses Facebook to keep an eye on her teenage daughter but claims her own life is too boring to post anything herself. But maybe Kate wants to sit below the radar because she doesn’t want anyone to look too closely and start asking questions about her past....
Three lives collide in this gripping story about friendship, motherhood and marriage and the façade of perfection people present to the world.

Great reflection of our times.
My first Kerry Fisher book, it won't be my last. This book perfectly reflects the pressure we're all under to post what perfect lives we have via social media..........the truth is often so different.
The narration is lovely, calm, well timed and clear. I thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of this book.

Really enjoyed
listening to the lives of each character unravel so many aspects of which I identified with. Their stories have a truth about them. They are real and honest. I cared and wanted to know what would happen to them and the truth behind their social media personas.

Parallel world of reality and social media posts
The overall idea of this book was great showing how real life is not quite the way we post on social media and secrets people have. The story was a nice, feel good ‘everything works out right in the end’ although there are tragedies they are overcome and it ends on a good note for all characters.
I’m used to crime novels or novels with twists and turns so although I enjoyed it in the end I did feel I got halfway through before anything more than day to day, run of the mill stuff happened. Still though I couldn’t wait to listen, kind of a big brother effect like watching reality TV!

very enjoyable read, with lovely narration.
I really wanted to know what the big secret was and it kept me wondering all the way throughout the story.
I found the story to have such relevance to this era where everyone seems to post perfect lives on fb, if only it was all as good as it looks! I really liked the characters and all their flaws. such a good book with fantastic narrator. will not disappoint.

Great book.
I really enjoyed this book. The life we portray on social media can be so misleading. Would definitely recommend this one.
