But something was missing, the perfect little family. She was content with her live, working as a primary school teacher. Laura is in a fairly new relationship with Rob. We have Laura who tells her story in first person POV, present time with flashbacks to the past.

The book was already tainted for me by then, but let me walk you through the story. I was really close to saying bye bye to this one.īut ok, I pushed through. You can’t do that, not even to fictional animals! The book caught my interest, was mildly interesting and then you throw that at me!? Laughter at me, I can read pretty much anything but the death of a cat is a huge trigger for me. I was 16 % in and then the cat is murdered. ⚠️ abusive relationship, domestic violence, death of pet ⚠️ Thank you NetGalley, Inkubator Books and Iain Maitland for letting me read “The Perfect Husband” on exchange for honest review. I would like to thank #Netgalley #InkubatorBooks and the author #IainMaitland for my ARC of #ThePerfectHusband in exchange for an honest review. I wasn't quite expecting the shocking ending. I kept turning the pages hoping Laura had kicked Robert into touch. This is a weel written and gripping read. Your heart goes out to Laura, and I worried what was going to happen to the baby. The story is told from Laura's point of view as we learn of her fear, anguish and stress. Robert is controlling, abusive and jealous. Laura is deluded, believing a baby would change Robert's ways. Oh, how much did I want Laura to get revenge on her husband Robert. Who is this man she's living with and what terrible things has he done? Laura realises she has married a total stranger, a man governed by dark impulses and darker secrets who seems determined to gain control of every part of her life. He goes out for hours and won't tell her where he's been, he even locks her own door against her. He is cold and judgemental with a temper that can flare up at any moment. He's the one, isn't he? But once Laura falls pregnant, Robert's mask slips. There, gentle, bookish Laura meets a man who makes her laugh, hangs on to her every word. A small-town barbeque in summer's dying days.
