The Silver Lining

by Paulette Rae

Briley has had a rough couple of years. Her marriage is falling apart--has been since she discovered her husband Mark was unfaithful, more than once over the duration of their relationship. If it wasn't for daughter Samantha, she would be long gone. But tonight she plans to pull it all together for her best friend Juliana, who is celebrating her 30th birthday. Briley has done everything in her power to make the night special. She has her brave face on and she's ready to party. When she discovers that one of the guests is a dark stranger from her past, Briley knows she needs to be careful or her own secrets will spill from the closet. Keith Trimble was her favourite mistake--one fabulous night she has never forgotten. Unlike Mark, she didn't cheat, but over the years she has kept him a secret. Maybe, just maybe, Keith won't even remember her...

I really enjoyed The Silver Lining . I have not read any books by Paulette before and thanks to the Good reads First read giveaway I have been given the opportunity. I found it an easy read , and really enjoyed the plot . The inclusion of the Christchurch earthquakes was done with sensitivity and brought a real climax to the story. Many New Zealanders are still upset with what has happened in Chrischurch and it certainly brought it all back to me again but I congratulate Paulette for including the details as they are part of out history.
I will be sharing the book with my friends and will be on the lookout for other books by this author.
