I would like to thank Minotaur Books (St Martin’s Press) for sending me an advanced copy of I Would Die for You in exchange for my honest review.
Nicole is living a normal life with her husband and her daughter in California, but she has secrets in her past that she has never been honest about and they will eventually catch up with her. Nicole’s daughter goes missing from school and rather than be honest about what could potentially be going on, Nicole doubles down on her secrets and picks a fight with her husband blaming his career instead.
The second timeline of the book is set in the 80’s in the UK. Cassie, Nicole’s younger sister, is a 16 year old girl who’s mother is dying of cancer while she’s busy chasing her favourite boy band around the country trying to win the heart of the lead singer, which obviously results in really poor decision making.
If you are a fan of reliving the music of the 80’s and having a twisty mystery full of unreliable narrators, then I suggest grabbing I Would Die for You on March 25 at your local bookseller or library.
I have to say that this book is not my favourite from Sandie Jones and I had to eventually DNF it. As a mom of young children I found Nicole extremely unlikeable and the flipping back and forth between the timelines was starting to give me a bit of whiplash, and none of the characters or the story were really that interesting to keep me coming back to it.
