Description:
One woman has nothing to lose.
The other has everything.
To the outside world, Gracie Dwyer has it all: the handsome husband, the adorable child, the beautiful home and the glittering career.
Juliet’s life couldn’t be more different. A single mother struggling to make ends meet, she lives in fear of her vindictive ex-husband taking their five-year-old daughter from her.
So when Gracie moves into Falcon House, just streets away from Juliet, she sees an opportunity. If Juliet can just get close to Gracie, maybe her fortunes will begin to change. After all, if anyone has luck to share around, it’s Gracie Dwyer.
And if cracks begin to appear in Gracie’s perfect life, well, it’s Juliet who will be there to pick up the pieces. Because no one’s life is really that perfect – and sometimes all it takes is a little push to expose the darkest of secrets…
A gripping and suspenseful psychological thriller with a mind-blowing twist, fans of The Wife Between Us, My Lovely Wife and Gone Girl will be utterly addicted to this twisted story of envy, secrets and lies.

First, I want to thank Sam Hepburn, Bookouture, and NetGalley for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.
Sam Hepburn is back to bring you another great novel Her Perfect Life!
One person I loved in this book was Gracie. I loved the fact that she was a Celebrity Chef on TV and writing her own cookbook. She had big dreams to open her own cook shop that serves a bistro menu in the evenings and run a cookery workshops upstairs.
Sam’s story focuses on Infidelity, stalkers, written threats, etc.
Tom, Gracie’s Husband, made a poor error In judgement when feeling weak one night. Sam wrote that very emotional filled intense scene extremely well.
Elsie, Gracie’s Daughter, was the cutest little girl in this book. She had such a bubbly and excitable personality interacting with her Mummy!
Throughout the book there was a diary entry reading Paulina Bryce Diary with the date. The mystery was who was this character? What did she have to do with this story?
I loved the names Sam picked out for her characters in Her Perfect Life. Some names I liked were Stefano (I was a huge Days of our Lives’s fan and Stefano played the Villan), Gracie, Daphne, Juliet, etc.They were different and unique.
The article in the magazine feature Use What You’ve Got to Get What You Want -Your Six-Point Guide to a New Life was a very interesting read.
I was laughing at the fact that Elise was going to be a mushroom in Lynda’s show and that Gracie had to make a costume. The only time I ever saw someone dress up as one of my fave veggies was on Masked Singer.
The girl’s body is curled up like a shell and almost completely buried in sand. Only her fingertips can be seen, reaching helplessly up towards an escape she will never find…
Seventeen-year-old Shelby Mayfield sits alone on a bus to Fog Harbor, California. Aside from a few items of clothing, all she has with her is twenty-two dollars, the ragdoll she’s kept since kindergarten, and the devastating secret she’s been hiding.
How long will it be before her family realizes she’s gone?
Can anyone see the fresh bruise on her cheek beneath the makeup?
Alex crossed to the bed, where the only woman he had ever loved lay immobile. There was an ugly dark bruise along her jaw, but far more shocking was the plastic breathing tube protruding from between the lips he’d kissed only hours earlier. Despair and fear rose in Alex’s throat. 'We have a little boy. His name is Connor. He still needs his mother… We both do.'
When Lisa married Alex, she gave his life meaning. She was a professional astronomer: a stargazer. And when she gazed at Alex, she saw that behind his tough exterior was a man she could love.
