The Younger Woman by Cate Ray
The Younger Woman by Cate Ray
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Absolutely loved this book! A fascinating insight into the deterioration of a marriage and what happens when love turns to hate. Vivid, with exquisite prose and wonderfully drawn characters, The Younger Woman is breathtaking and wildly original. An eerie, elegant thriller.

| Light, quick and bingeable, this is an easy read, despite its dark themes. With crazy twists and unhinged characters, this one is a wild ride with a surprising ending | |

“I'm in love with you," he said quietly.
"Augustus," I said.
"I am," he said. He was staring at me, and I could see the corners of his eyes crinkling. "I'm in love with you, and I'm not in the business of denying myself the simple pleasure of saying true things. I'm in love with you, and I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we're all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust, and I know the sun will swallow the only earth we'll ever have, and I am in love with you.”
