Having read Sandie Jones’ debut novel, The Other Woman and loved it, I was excited to read her new book, The First Mistake. This is a great book to take to the beach. Part I is told from the viewpoint of Alice who is re-married to Nathan after her first husband, Tom, passed away in a skiing accident. We meet her best friend, Beth. I could not put the book down. Part II goes back to nine years before and we hear from Beth. Part II slowed down for me and felt it could have used some editing. Part III returns to present day. This is where the story comes together with many twist and turns that will leave the reader guessing what is going to happen next. Just when you think you have it figured out, you are surprised. I definitely enjoyed Sandie Jones’ second novel. Thank you Bookish First and St. Martin’s Press for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
