Secrets From a Happy Marriage

Secrets From a Happy Marriage



by Maisey Yates

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5

Women’s Literature is to my go-to genre, but Maisey Yates may have made a convert of me!

This book hit me with all the feels and the roller coaster when full circle to come to an ending that could not have been more perfect. I loved how three generations of women are represented and their life choices are followed and directed to see where it has got them and where they will take them in the future. 

Yates depicted a perfect representation of female relationships with her 4 lead characters: grandmother/ matriarch, mother, wife, sister, daughter, grand-daughter, grandmother, aunt, niece and friend. By telling the story through all the characters voices, it was easy and a pleasure to experience their heartaches and joys along with them. 

The growth all the characters went through really got to me… I have experienced many of the life events and related to these women. After reading this book I felt as if I had come out of my own trial successfully and the joy that brought was extreme.

This was an excellent story and I would recommend this to book highly to anyone looking for a good pick me up read.

Secrets From a Happy Marriage by Maisey Yates is scheduled to release May 12th, 2020.

Rachel Henderson's family is falling apart. Becoming a widow - especially at this age - is heartbreaking. With her teenage daughter, Emma, leaving soon for college, Rachel needs a friend - but local diner owner Adam is the last person on whom she ever thought she'd lean.
