I really enjoyed this book. The alternating characters and time periods really kept my reading. I found it really creative the correlation between the different stages of wine making and the parts of the book. There was definitely a lot going on and the ending really got me. Thanks for the ARC, NetGalley.

A gripping blend of suspense and heartache. The writing is spellbinding and the explosive conclusion and emotional depth kept me engaged.
Many thanks to Simon & Schuster and to Netgalley for providing me with a galley in exchange for my honest opinion.

3.5 stars. I got really into the story early on, even though it was a little bit slow for my taste (I neglected all my other reads for a day). About halfway in, things started to get a little messy...and then it turned into CRAZY messy!
Don't get me wrong, I love thrillers that keep me on my toes, but I felt this one was trying too hard. What turned this into a lower rating than I thought I was going to give this book was the last 2 chapters. I just had a hard time believing the whole thing and again, it just felt like too much.
I would give this author another chance, though.

Till Death Do Us Part is full of all the good stuff: family drama, unreliable narrator, suspense, and satisfying twists. I loved the setting of NYC and Napa Valley.
Told with a dual POV, it takes some time for the backstory to build. Once it does- things start to get really good. I really enjoyed all the twists and turns and did not expect the ending at all!

I didn't like this as much as LEF's previous adult thriller, but this was solid. I liked the wine-making info and I thought June was compelling. I didn't love Bev and I think the past story line might've benefited from Michelle's POV, or Camille's maybe, but overall solid.

I love Flynn’s writing so was incredibly excited to read this one. Told in alternating POVs and timelines, this is the story of two women grappling with the people they love and trying to untangle who is worthy of their love based on dark secrets in everyone’s pasts. I enjoyed spending time with both Bev and June, especially in the Napa setting. The descriptions of the wine making process and the vineyards were incredible. Bev’s feelings on motherhood were incredibly relatable, and I felt for June as she tried to untangle what had happened to her first husband. The twists at the end were ones I did NOT see coming. 5 stars!

Unfortunately, I had a lot of issues with this. The synopsis was enticing: a woman's husband supposedly drowns and she suspects foul play. I don't want to spoil the plot with specifics but I felt like the few "twists" were contrived and implausible. The ending especially had a lot of strange things going on. At the same time, part of the plot was left unresolved. This was not my favorite.

At the start of the book, the story unfolds slowly with two narrators in different times. June, who runs a wine pub and lost her husband, Josh, sees a man who looks like him, leading her to secrets at a winery. In another timeline, we meet Bev, Josh’s mother, dealing with family issues and a troubled marriage.
The plot switches between June and Bev, revealing hidden truths that shape their lives. As the story progresses, shocking discoveries come to light, changing how we see the characters and events.
Though Bev's marital struggles may be familiar to many, June's journey towards a new beginning makes her a more relatable character. This mix of women’s fiction, family drama, and mystery weaves together an engaging tale.

June is finally ready to move forward with her life after ten years of mourning Josh, lost one week into their marriage. As she prepares to settle down with her new love she starts once again seeing Josh everywhere. He's watching her as she takes engagement pictures in Central Park, peering into her wine bar in Brooklyn, alive and well on a website for a vineyard in the Napa Valley. Unable to tell any of her friends or family, as they'll think she's having another breakdown, June takes off for Napa knowing she has to find out the truth before she can really move on with her life. Once there she opens a much bigger can of worms that she could ever imagine.

It frustrates me when you read a book and really enjoy most of the book and then the ending is just tooooo far out to left field for you to be happy about it and then you feelings about the whole book change. This wasn't a bad book, but the ending. Bleh. Just didn't make it work for me at all. Thank you netgalley for this arc in exchange for my honest opinion.

My first Laurie Elizabeth Flynn novel but wow not my last. This was action packed and filled with characters I either love or love to hate. It felt like a ping pong match with my head spinning with direction changes. I never knew who to trust. The whole story was exhilarating. Totally enjoyed it.
Thank you NetGalley, Laurie Elizabeth Flynn and Simon and Schuster for the opportunity to read and review this book.

Wow this was so immersive! I was flipping the pages to find out what happened. Great mystery to take to the beach this summer!

This was a really solid read, built on a lot of then, and now with dual perspectives throughout the entire book. This definitely had more of a slow burn and anticipatory build to the very end. I did find the end, satisfying, but I felt that the middle of the book dragged along a bit too slow for my liking. However, I found that this was written incredibly well, and the characters were so well developed!

Another great tale from Laurie Elizabeth Flynn! Till Death Do Us Part is a domestic drama/mystery set in atmospheric Napa Valley told in multiple POV and timelines. I loved reading about wine making and the plot was great. Complicated family relationships and secrets drive the story. Some of the characters were complex and rich, but some were a little one dimensional. That would be my one critic. Overall, a winner! A great summer read! Perfect for fans of Liane Moriarty.

At first I was confused by the different characters and timelines. However, I stuck with it because I really wanted to know what happened to the first husband. .

June met the love of her life and wiring 6 months they were married. But then within one week after that he was dead. It’s taken June 10 years to be able to settle down and want to marry someone else, even though she still thinks of her husband, Josh, often. Then she is sure she sees him watching her. Is he really dead?
This was great premise for a book but did move pretty slow for the first half. After the first half I didn’t want to put it down.
The book is told from dual POVs and dual timelines. And while I did like that, I wasn’t very fond of the characters, especially the mother-in-law. I did like her addition to Josh’s teen years, but her side story didn’t feel like it added to the story and honestly made her so unlikeable.
There were a decent amount of twists in this story, some I had no idea of at all until they were revealed. Although there were a few things that didn’t get resolved that I wish would have. I do feel that this book falls more into the genre of a domestic suspense with some mystery elements, not a thriller.
Overall I did enjoy it, but felt some things could have been executed better. It also made me really want to go to Napa and try natural wine, which I didn’t even know was a thing!
Thanks to NetGalley and Simon & Schuster for the advanced copy of this book!

Till Death Do Us Part got me out of my reading funk. Read this if you want a fast paced suspense. This book was captivating and takes you on a wild ride. I loved the different timelines and the way the author gave just enough information to keep me engaged and wanting more. A dead husband showing back up a decade later?!? It can't be true right?! Right?! Find out what happened the morning June's husband "drowned". I give this 4 stars! I enjoyed it. Out August 13!

This was one of my favorite books of the year! June is still mourning the loss of her husband, who we meet through flashback chapters. He disappeared mysteriously one day, and no one knows what really happened to him. June hopes that maybe he's still out there somewhere, and when she swears she sees him--as she often does--she decides to get to the bottom of what's happening. June's chapters are interspersed with Bev's, who we do not not how they are related. Bev works at a winery and is having an affair with a woman from her past, dissatisfied with her relationship with her husband, who she believes is cheating on her (and kicks out). These two stories intertwine and explode. I read this book super fast, trying to sort out what was really happening. I highly recommend!
