Libby has a good life with a gorgeous husband and a home by the sea. But over time she is becoming more unsure if Jack has ever loved her - and if he is over the death of Eve, his first wife. When fate intervenes in their relationship, Libby decides to find out all she can about the man she hastily married and the seemingly perfect Eve. But in doing so she unearths devastating secrets. Frightened by what she finds and the damage it could cause, Libby starts to worry that she too will end up like the first woman Jack loved . . .
Rating: 3 Stars
Positives: Dorothy Koomson has a good grasp of description, something which is never lacking in The Woman He Loved Before. Her characters are loveable and you gain an instant distrust for the evil character in the book.
Negatives: I found that once Libby has started reading Eve's diary I'm more interested in Eve and her story, and I found myself forgetting about Libby's current plight and her recovery from the car crash.
Would I recommend it? Yes I would. I didn't find it as enjoyable as I'd hoped but its still a good read.
