Books, life, inspiration…. and my PMDD

My Blogstop Review for I Want What You Have by Hayley Smith for Booksontour with Bookouture

My Review:

I am in awe of how the author put this together. The characters draw you in from the start and wont leave you alone until you have uncovered their story.
You do ask yourself who really wants what from whom and how are they women interconnected and why?
Gemma was with Reuben and was desperately trying for a baby with no success.
Sophy is her best friend, she has an adorable baby with her husband Tom.
Addie is an influencer who has reinvented herself, she is popular and is followed and admired by Gemma and Sophy.
Gemma now happily married to Matt, still desperately trying for a baby and looking more and more like her Instagram idol, wins a two couple, weeks stay at a fertility retreat in the middle of nowhere.
Addie’s plan starts to come together and lives start to unravel. Secrets long buried come to light.
A Gripping page turner, Hayley is incredibly good at leading you up the garden path, a highly recommended read.

Book Description:

She wants to be me. But I want to take what’s hers.

I smile as I welcome Gemma and her husband to the exclusive resort. I picked Gemma, my biggest fan, to win a romantic holiday for two. But as we toast the start of a week of luxury, I notice we look exactly alike. It’s almost like she wants to be me…

I’ve planned every detail of their week. From the carefully placed black lilies around her luxury room to the ex who broke her heart turning up unannounced. Because I need to jog her memory, so she remembers who I really am. The girl whose life she destroyed and heart she smashed into a thousand pieces.

But soon, I’ll learn just how far Gemma will go to stop the truth about her past – and who she really is – from coming out. Because she wants something from me too…

And by the end of the week, one of us will be dead.

An utterly gripping and addictive psychological thriller that will keep you flipping the pages deep into the night. Perfect for fans of Freida McFadden, Emily Shiner and Daniel Hurst.
