Such a Good Wife by Seraphina Nova Glass

-

Such a Good Wife is Seraphina Nova Glass's newest novel out on August 10th in the US. This is her second novel, following the release of Someone's Listening in July 2020. I think the author has a beautiful name, which caught my eye along with the cover.

This novel is about Melanie and Collin Hale. They have a great marriage with two children, one who requires extra attention. Melanie is a stay at home mom to care for her son. When an opportunity to join a local writer's group comes up, Collin encourages Melanie (she wanted to write a book earlier in her life). In the bookstore where the writing group is held Melanie meets Luke, local romance writer and a relationship begins. Then Luke is found dead and Melanie is desperate to keep her affair a secret from her husband and not be accused of Luke's murder.

Review

Melanie is very relatable. She does not have a lot of friends, possibly because she's a stay at home mom, so when Collin encourages her to join the writing group, she is hesitant. When she meet Luke, she knows she is in trouble but can't help herself. The first half of the book sets up everything for the twisting ending. 

I loved the pace of this book. There is a lot going on in the book besides Melanie and Luke and it all fits together very well. In the end everyone gets what they deserved.

Welcome to my stop on The Children’s Book Review in partnership with Catherine Rose for her book, Coloring the Rainbow: The Power of Connection. About the Book: Coloring the Rainbow: The Power of Connection tells a story of the magic created when the unique talents of a diverse group of children are shared in a colorful adventure. The adventure begins when we see through a boy’s window to find a young trombonist pausing his practice to wonder if other musical voices exist. When an alluring treble note wafts through his window, he begins an excited quest to find the answer. Playing his horn through his neighborhood, the boy draws other curious children to play their unique instruments along with him. Together, they played: “Lend your voice, play your part! Something grand is beginning― join us for the start!” The procession of music makers is touched with magic when their combined voices, raised in harmony, orchestrate a colorful miracle.
