Review of The Proposal by S.E. Lynes

I received a copy of this title via NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

You invited him into your life. And now you can never go back… 

Pippa wants a second chance. Recently divorced and unhappy at work, she uproots her life to move to a beautiful farmhouse in the countryside, determined to make a fresh start. But Pippa soon realises: your troubles are never far behind.

One night, when Pippa is at home alone, a stranger arrives at her front door. Pippa invites him in, and, in a moment of madness, makes him an offer she believes could change everything… 

Ryan is funny, charming, and haunted by his past. There in the kitchen, over a glass of wine, Pippa thinks Ryan might be the answer to all of her problems. But how well does she really know him?

Pippa can tell truth from lies. And she’d know if she were in danger. Wouldn’t she?

My Review:
4 Stars

This story was very different from a lot of the novels that I have read lately. It was intriguing and fresh.

Pippa is an aspiring author. Her first book was a total flop. Critics sighting that it lacked authenticity and a real voice. Pippa struggles to come up with a new idea for her fast approaching deadline. All of that changes with a simple knock at the door.

The story alternates between diary entries and blog posts. Switching between the past and present, leading you towards the light at the end of this spiraling tunnel.
