The Girlfriend by K. L. Slater *Book Review* 
(5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐)

K. L. Slater hits the mark with The Girlfriend. With jaw-dropping plot twists, the novel is a remarkable read. 

Synopsis:
Jennifer Fincham is grieving the sudden loss of her husband Cole. A striking young woman arrives at Jennifer's front door with a baby. The mysterious woman claims to be Cole's girlfriend and says the baby belongs to him. Additionally, she tells Jennifer that Cole had borrowed money from her and that she owns the family home. 

My Thoughts:
The plot of The Girlfriend sounds crazy, but it works brilliantly. As I read the book my mind was constantly trying to figure out the next twist. Imagine being recently widowed, discovering your partner was cheating and there is a child involved you didn't know about. Also, the other woman is taking over your house. What?😲

I am still processing the possibility that something like this could happen in real life, even though this book is fiction. That's a bitter pill to swallow AND that's just the beginning of the book! 

Read The Girlfriend available on October 27th to find out what happens next in the story. You don't want to miss the mind-bending thriller!

Thank you, NetGalley and Bookouture, for sharing this outstanding book with me. Way to go K. L. Slater! I love every page of this amazing story!
