Obsession – lies – secrets – deception - If you love a thriller full of twists and turns with an ending that you in NO way expected, then this book is for you. The bonus for wine lovers like me is, if you're interested, you'll get a bit of an education on wine making as well.

The story follows two timelines. The first POV is June who marries Josh in 2012 after a short courtship. Horribly, just a week later he is presumed dead while swimming in the ocean, when his body is never found. Fast forward to 2022 and we find June has a new man in her life, Kyle, who absolutely adores her. He is completely unaware how obsessed she continues to be over Josh’s death/disappearance, even after the two get engaged. Her obsessive behavior threatens to ruin her relationship with Kyle.

The second timeline follows Bev, Josh’s mom. She with her husband own the Golden Grape vineyard, and they live on the edge of the property with their sons. Josh is in high school during this time, and his storyline is full of tragedy and suspicious behavior. Very juicy!

I guarantee you are not going to guess the places this story goes. I gave up all hope figuring out what would happen next, and simply enjoyed sitting back and letting it all unfold. The story is character-rich, and I did get a little confused about who-did what-to-whom at one point, but in the end it was an entertaining dramatic novel that I would recommend to thriller loving friends.

Thank you to Simon & Schuster, NetGalley, and the author for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

A widow who has found love again suddenly starts seeing what she thinks is her lost husband, whose body was never found. She travels to the west coast to look into his family, and finds more than she wanted to.

I was intrigued at the beginning but I am so bored of the switching narrators. I don't care about Bev and her lesbian awakening. I want to know if Josh is alive. Also, it's so strange that the twin isn't a thought until Bev brings him up with June and then suddenly he's in all the timelines and in everyone's business. This was not executed well.

The winery setting won me over immediately! Fortunately, the story did too. June is on her honeymoon. Hubby goes to get breakfast; Hubby is never seen again. Til years later when he is. By now, June is readying to marry Kyle. She can't get the possible first-hubby sighting out of her mind and decides to pursue it to put everything to rest. Hopefully. Told from the POV's of both June and Bev. Bev is Josh, first hubby's mom. Though I considered this to be more of a domestic suspense than actual thriller, the story moves right along and there are several good twists. I enjoyed this one and as I said, the winery setting alone is worth the read!

I will post my review to Amazon, Facebook and other social media and retail sites upon publication.

This was a great thriller in a great setting! I loved the twists and they were surprising without being unbelievable. The pacing was great and I couldn’t put it down!

There’s no question from the start what the main mystery is in this twisty family drama, but there are so many other questions & revelations that come to light. This tale is woven, then unraveled, in such an interesting way. The wine world is a perfect setting for a story as complex as this. This isn’t just family secrets revealed. It explores many aspects of human relationships. This still has me thinking about love, loss, loyalty, marriage, motherhood…
Events are told through June & Bev’s perspectives, sometimes many years apart. I definitely shifted between liking & trusting characters one minute, to disliking or doubting them the next. Sometimes it was the opposite.
I’m often capable of guessing book endings, but not this one. I like that I had absolutely no idea what was going to pop-up next. While reading the final chapters, I found myself flipping back to read earlier events to see if there were clues I missed.
Wish I could grab a glass of wine & read it for the first time all over again. Thanks to the publisher for allowing me to read an advance copy via NetGalley.

Till Death Do Us Part by Laura Elizabeth Flynn has been the most disappointing book I’ve read this year. Unless you enjoy talking about the cloudiness of natural wines the fermentation of wines and all about the growing process and went to pick the grapes and for which wine you may not like this book. As I said already I couldn’t wait to read this book it really sounded like something I would be so down to bury myself in and not come up for air until the book was over but OMG not only was this book disappointing the ending totally came out of left field almost like this book is Clickbait. The book is told between Bev and June, and to be honest I do not know why we had to read about Bev who at first I really liked her before the book is over I was just disgusted with her. As far as June goals I initially felt bad for her but was totally getting tired of hearing her bemoan the loss of her husband 12 years before especially since she was engaged to Kyle. Irregardless I do not recommend this book which I rarely do and really almost DNF this book about winemaking I don’t even drink wine but even if I did I don’t think this book would’ve interested me still in all. I mean people pay thousands and thousands of dollars for something you can make in prison. I appreciated being given this book in exchange for the honest review and this is my absolutely honest review. #NetGalley#SimonAndSchuster,,#LoriElizabethFlynn, #TillDeathDoUsPart,

Told in dual POV and timeline this domestic suspense had me captive from the start. On the surface it seems like a simple story but there are so many secrets buried underneath. I couldn’t wait to see how all the parts where going to come out and fit together in the end!

The story reminded me of a classic rollercoaster. You have that slow build of suspense as you get started then bam you’re sent on a twisty ride. And man, once you got to the twists, it gets messy with a capital M and I mean that in the best way. The characters, the secrets, the drama, I just ate it all up.

This book also goes well beyond the mystery, there’s so much more to it. It’s got women’s fiction and romance components as it handles a raw view of motherhood and a beautiful second chance at love.

Thank you Laurie, Netgalley, and Simon & Schuster for my copies in exchange for an honest review!

I’m going to cut to the quick. I initially found this book extremely confusing - so many jumps back and forth in time, so many people to track. I did not find any of the characters likable with maybe the exception of Emilia. Likability is not necessarily a good criteria for a successful book but usually I find one person to whom I can relate - not this time. Bev, who in my mind is the main character across the entire story, is perhaps the least savory person. She lies, she cheats, she hides the truth…. Looking back, the story is interesting and well developed. I just didn’t care for all of the jumps in time and the entitlement of these people is beyond the pale. The twists at the end are out of the blue, like a Scooby Doo kind of ending.

While on their honeymoon, June’s husband Josh went out for a swim and never came home. June has her doubts about what happened that day, which hasn’t subsided 10 years later when she starts seeing a man who looks like her husband walking around. Engaged now to someone else, June feels the need to find this person and resolve her unanswered questions about what happened that day 10 years ago. Is she prepared for the truth? In a separate timeline, we follow Bev, Josh’s mom, and what happened back in the 90’s that could be related to Josh’s disappearance now.

This book was a pleasant surprise for me! I went into it blind and didn’t know if it was a thriller or romance (it ended up being both 😂). The cover drew me in, and I love both genres so I would be happy either way. It kinda reminded me a bit of One True Loves by TJR but with more mystery elements. While romance is a theme in this book, it is mostly used to further explain the past, so ultimately I would say it’s a suspense/mystery. I loved every single twist that this book brought me. Just when I thought I knew what was happening, it threw me for a loop. Would def recommend!

Oh my! I actually put my life on hold so I could read this intriguing story from start to finish in one day. There were so many twists and turns as the author cleverly wove together several timelines and viewpoints. I also loved the way she incorporated all the steps of the winemaking process. It was interesting to learn about natural wines as well. I was reminded of how we used to use our homegrown grapes to make grape juice that actually turned into wine. Thanks to NetGalley, Simon & Schuster and the author for an advance copy to read and review.

June Kelly has finally found love again after years of mourning her late husband Josh, who disappeared one morning, never to be seen again. June never felt that his death was truly an accident but could never prove it. When one day she looked up and saw her dead husband very much alive June becomes determined to figure out what’s going on.
The story goes between June and Bev (Josh’s mother) perspective, weaving a timeline of what happened leading up to Josh’s death and after. The story was very well written, with a few twists I didn’t see coming. The ending was a nice surprise that left me really loving the book even more.
Thank you to Netgalley and to the publishers for allowing me to read this advanced copy.

This book starts out as an exciting thriller. However, somewhere along the way, things go awry. Convenient plot twists are thrown in that sound like something out of a soap opera as well as other plot twists that don't make any sense or go anywhere. On top of that the reader is expected to believe that even though June's late husband was a certain kind of person, he completely changed when he married her even though we don't really get to see much of that alleged character development or their relationship.

Much of the book isn't even about June at all. It is about Josh's mother and how she is torn between her family and her love for another woman. This has very little to do with June's story except that you do get to learn things about Josh through his mother although most of what is learned about Josh is through hearsay from what the other characters say because even in the flashbacks he doesn't appear that much.

There are interesting elements to this story, however, they don't seem to go together well. Thus, even though the ending is satisfactory in that all the loose ends are tied up, it still feels like something is missing.

This was a really interesting read. The back and forth of the timelines was confusing at first because I didn’t understand who Bev was and why we cared about her, but once I got that part figured out, I really enjoyed the story. It was a slower-paced read for me, not something I tore through in a day, but something I kept coming back to to enjoy. The winemaking piece of it was interesting, even though I am not in that world. The mystery surrounding all the events just kept getting creepier and creepier.

Whatever you do, don’t skip the epilogue like I know some readers do—it’s a very necessary part of the story, and it wouldn’t be whole without it.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

3.7
Feels like it’s been a minute since I’ve read a mystery book. I enjoyed the plot of this book so much and the ending was not what I expected. Though I have to say even though the ending wasn’t what I expected to be, it was still an idea in the back of my mind kinda of like a what if thing. The storyline definitely keeps you thinking.Really enjoyed this book and had such a great time bingeing it. Honestly enjoyed the plot of the book and some of the characters. It's told in dual POV with one being in the past and the other being present. Personally didn't enjoy the past POV at first but after reading the book and thinking more about it, I think I understand why it was needed. This definitely a book about secrets and the power of what it can do.

Laurie Elizabeth Flynn's The Girls Are All So Nice Here is an absolutely stunning read, and Till Death Do Us Part is everything I was hoping it would be. Flynn's writing is gorgeous, seamlessly building backstory and conflict with every chapter. The characters are refreshingly nuanced, each voice well-executed and engaging. In June, we get an interesting focus with wine and relationships, and I loved how the process paralleled what was happening between the characters. Without giving anything away, the subtle connections worked really well, and I couldn't put this down once I started. I finished it in a single sitting and am sad that it's over.

A total must-read, Till Death Do Us Part is one you don't want to miss.

Huge thanks to Simon and Schuster and NetGalley for providing an eARC in exchange for honest review consideration.

Ten years ago, June's husband drowned on their honeymoon, & the body was never recovered. Now, she is finally moving on with her life. She owns a natural wine bar, and is engaged to Kyle. Then one day, she spots Josh across the park. But by the time she reaches the place where she saw him, he is gone. Then, while looking at websites for wineries in Napa, she stumbles upon a family owned winery, and the husband in the picture is identical to Josh. Needing closure before she marries again, June heads to Napa for answers. But she’s not prepared for all of the secrets she’s about to unlock, because everything she thought she knew about her first love is a lie.

This dual-timeline book is told in alternating chapters between Josh's mother Bev in the past and June in the present. It starts out at a bit of a slow burn, but once the storyline picks up the pace, the book becomes much more enjoyable. I will say, Bev wasn't at all likeable, and June just seemed unhinged and did things that no sane person would have done all throughout the book. Other than that, I really enjoyed it, and it kept me guessing until the very end as to whether Josh was really alive or if not, then what had really happened to him. Also, in question, was whether or not Josh was the good guy that June originally believed him to be. Overall, if you are a fan of mysteries and suspense, then you should check this out.

My thanks to NetGalley and Simon & Schuster for the ARC of "Til Death Do Us Part" in exchange for an honest review.
In this domestic thriller, there's mystery and murder alright, but the heavy emphasis here is weighted toward domestic drama. Troubled marriages, family secrets deeply buried, infidelities and toxic sibling rivalries of children coming back to unsettle their parents.
And all of this unfolds amidst Napa Valley wineries, where the grapes are fermenting to fruition right along with the familial grapes of wrath. of the growers.
Back East, the tragically widowed June, the owner of a Brooklyn wine bar is now, ten years later, happily planning a wedding to her fiance Kyle. But she lives with haunted memories of her brief marriage to the impetuous force=of-nature Josh who mysteriously drowned on their honeymoon, his body never recovered.
And here's where the book starts to hook you, so you'll know you' won't stop til you finish it. June catches glimpses of Josh, or someone who looks exactly like him. A double? Or a resurrected Josh for real? Her ceaseless, obsessive google searches lead her to a Napa winery, whose owner looks exactly like the man she spotted on the streets.
On her own secretive mission to Napa, June stays at the winery's small hotel, hoping to meet Andrew and Sadie the married couple who own the vineyard.....especially 'Andrew', who's conveniently out of town on business.
End of me talking plot, because of course, here's where the revelations and twists begin to make themselves known. To deepen the story and characters there's parallel flashback chapters dealing with Josh's mother Bev (also a vineyard owner with husband David). These occur around the time of Josh's tumultuous adolescence, riddled with.......well, that's for readers to find out.
"Til Death Do Us Part' kept me intrigued and reading but I found some of the twists problematic and at least one major twist that's simply too far-fetched and pushes a reader's ability to swallow it. And leaving one of the mysteries unsolved and forgotten didn't help my impression either.
A great set-up that makes you determined to find out all the answers. But I'm not sure how many people will go along with those reveals when they're finally laid bare.

This is my true and honest review, thank you NetGalley for the opportunity. Went into this blind as I did not read much of the synopsis for this story. It started off intriguing June is set to marry a new man after 10 years of recovering her first husband that "died" a week into their marriage and it got me hooked to turn the pages but as it went on, it slowly started to loose my interest. The back and forth between Bev and June i kept loosing track. I would of preferred it being separated and start with June for a section then dive into the past giving off Bev's side minus some sections that I personally think didn't need to be added in, and then tapping back into Junes present day story. The characters were great just feel that i did a lot of back and forth. Has a great storyline once you get more then halfway done.

WHAT DID I JUST READ!!!! I can’t even begin to describe how much I loved this book. I thought I had it figured out a couple times. But that ENDING 🤯 I didn’t not see that coming at all. This book has it all. It has family drama, love, finding ones self, struggles to find ones place, heart break, happiness. This book will make you smile, it will make you cry and it will have you flipping through the pages. I love how this book is told in dual POV and in past and present timelines. Those are my favorite types of books, every chapter is a cliff hanger and has you flipping through the next section so you can find out where you left off. I can not recommend this book enough. I love ending that leave you saying “what just happened”.
