Audiobook Description:

A week in New York with my family should be the trip of a lifetime–yet I’ve been on edge the whole time because fifteen years ago, when we were living in this city, my husband did something that ripped our lives apart. I swore I would never come back, but he insisted. As we stroll along the Hudson River, drinking coffee in the sunshine, anyone would think we’re the perfect family. But the truth is far more complicated.

Jessica’s Review:

I am pasting the Goodreads book description for this review as the book’s description everywhere else gives to much plot away for this short book!  This was also the book description I read, so I wasn’t spoiled if I had read the book description elsewhere I would have been.

Jack and Lorna are from the UK originally and were living in New York until Jack did something and they suddenly left and returned to the UK with their young children. They vowed to never return until… Fast forward fifteen years with their children turning 18 and 21… big birthdays!!!  Guess what both kids want??? A trip to NYC!! Knowing their kids wouldn’t stop mentioning a NYC trip Jack and Lorna decide to give that gift to them. And now we have this book and what happens!

Her Husband’s Mistake is my second book by Daniel Hurst that I have listened to this year and I have enjoyed both. He is an author I will look out for! This one was very short coming in at 5.5 hours long and so it moves the entire time!  Get ready for a roller coaster of intensity with this one!

Jack and Lorna were not very likeable for me, but the kids were. So much happens so quickly it’s a book you don’t want to put down!  And it even went in a direction that I would not have guessed was going to happen! I was shocked: I actually had to relisten to that chapter when I got to a certain point in the audiobook!

The narrators did a good job with their narrations, I did like Tamsin Kennard’s voice more than Nathaniel Priestley. 

Many thanks to the publisher Bookoutoure Audio for granting me an alc to listen to and review! I enjoyed this very quick listen!
