My Husband the Stranger, ÂRebecca Done
Review from Jeannie Zelos book reviews
Genre:ÂÂ Womenâs fiction, mystery & thrillers
I really enjoyed Rebeccaâs debut book, and was pleased to get this one for review. Sheâs got the same way of taking what I thought Iâd think and feel, and turning it upside down in this story as in This Secret weâre Keeping, and the same type of ending, where its not cut and dried HEA but indications that everything will be OK in time. Secret was a little ambiguous in the ending,Âwhich I donât really like, but this one is more distinct in which way the future looks set to fall.Â
So to begin, even though I felt so sorry for Alex, after his terrible brain injury I still thought he was a jerk. That's tough judgement on my part, but it seemed as though he didnât want to help himself, was content with who he was now.
At times he was so awful to Molly, didnât seem to see her asÂhis wife, someone he loved, his equal, but treated her as though she was simply there to be at his beck and call. Then moments of the old Alex flashed through, and I could see the man he was, the man Molly fell in love with.
Things were so hard for her, sheâd memories of the man she married, and yet though heâs there with her, wears his face and body, heâs not the same man inside. That must be so hard to deal with,Âespecially when after three years its unlikely heâll go back to who he was before.Â
Molly was wonderful, but at the point we join the story sheâs at the end of her tether, struggling to keep a job, where the boss is clearly out to get rid of her. She doesnât like what she does but its an income, and with Alex not working they need it.
The cottage too, his old family home which theyâd planned to renovate, is falling apart,Ânot just the fabric of the building but all their appliances, and that adds to her stress.
Alex is in his own little world where everything revolves around his wants and needs, just thinks Molly is nagging, and is awful to her. He spends his days doing nothing really, going to pub, playing golf, and what really upsets Molly too is when his ex keeps flirting with him.
When they moved back to Norfolk from London he was irritated at Nicola's attempts to text him, to be friends, running pastÂtheir house in her daily jog,Âbumping into him wherever they went, but now he seems to revel in it and poorÂMolly is so hurt.
It doesnât matter that she understands why heâs like this, sheâs just struggling, hurt,Âupset and I wondered just how long she could carry on.
It wasnât Alexâ fault, but how he is now isnât how he was when they married.
