Could she be my husband’s secret daughter?

Rose’s birthday party was everything I could have dreamed of; she adored her unicorn cake and balloons, and the surprise of her whole class arriving to celebrate. And now all the parents and children have left, I can finally relax – and find out exactly why my husband, Phil, disappeared halfway through. But who is the little girl still perched at our dining room table?

My daughter says she doesn’t know her.

The child’s eyes fix on the family photo in front of her. Her fingers reach out to caress Phil’s dark hair beside mine and Rose’s golden locks.

And then I realise. She looks just like him.

Years ago, my husband made a terrible mistake. And when I finally face up to the secrets he’s hidden, will it tear our family apart? 

A breathtaking, twisty and emotional page-turner perfect for fans of Linda Green, Liane Moriarty and Amanda Prowse.



Sam Vickery is an English author who loves gritty, emotional stories that can make you sob. As a child, she was forever getting in trouble for being caught with her nose in a book, and these days are no different. She lives on the south coast of England with her husband, two children and a cat that thinks it’s a dog.





The Child at the Party 

Written By Sam Vickery

Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews


First, I want to thank Sam Vickery, Bookouture and NetGalley for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review. 


Oh how I am such a huge fan of Sam Vickery’s books!! Each one of them touches me in a way and pulls on my heart strings. When I heard she had just written The Child at the Party I knew I had to be on her blog tour for it! I’m so glad I did because it was so good! 


The Bookouture Graphic Artists continue to impress me with their creative covers! This one was beautiful for The Child at the Party. 


The introduction to the character of Billie was one of my favorite storyline. It was one of those outside of the box kind of storylines. 


I was not expecting any spicy scenes from this book so of course that forbidden love scene happening threw me off guard.


Overall it is a great read and should be put on your tbr list!

Forever, INTERRUPTED

Forever, Interrupted by Taylor Jenkins Reid is one of those books that instantly pulls hard on your heart strings. This is literally a book I started on a Saturday afternoon and literally lost track of time and finished in one sitting. Forever, Interrupted was an engaging and addicting story that must be put on your TBR list. 


Oh the tears that started to well up as I felt like a fly in the air watching a tragic scene unfold. My heart ached for newlywed Elise who had just lost her Ben! Knowing the pain of losing someone I could totally feel her pain. 


With Forever, Interrupted Taylor takes us back in time to when Ben and Elise met, their proposal, and their actual wedding day. We were able to get to know Ben through stories. 


Taylor Jenkins Reid deals with loss of a spouse, grief, dealing with their family, handling arrangements, and cope with the loss. All not easy things to deal with. However, she does a beautiful writing this story. 


I loved that Elise was a librarian and met a lot of nice people there with interesting stories to share. One of the many friends that she had there was Mr. George Callahan. I enjoyed reading about him. 


Forever, Interrupted would be a great book for a book club pick as in the back they have book discussion topics.
