The Confession by Jessie Burton

4.0

This book has been compared to The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo and it was one of the reasons I bought it along with its beautiful cover. Maybe because my expectations of this was so high I didn’t enjoy it as much as I had hoped. I felt that this was a slow read for me, I wasn’t able to read as fast as usual and I can’t pinpoint why. It’s a great storyline about Rose who goes seeking the mother she has never known and her journey takes her to one of her mothers oldest friends and partner for a while, Constance. She is a reclusive novelist and the story is told through two time lines. Enjoyable and well-written, for me no where near Evelyn Hugo but that is one of my favourite reads of this year
