Book Review: "Till Death Do Us Part" by Laurie Elizabeth Flynn

How could a book have such a great concept and start so strong, yet leave me rolling my eyes by the end? I’m so disappointed that this one didn’t work for me.

Ten years ago, June and her fiancé Josh decide to have a spur-of-the-moment wedding without friends and family. But on their honeymoon, Josh drowns while on a morning swim, and his body is never found. June is overcome with grief.

Since that horrible day, June has pulled her life together. She owns a natural wine bar, Grape Juice, in Brooklyn, and the man she’s been dating for the last several years, Kyle, has just proposed. She’s ready to begin their life together.

“I’ll always be a widow first and a wife second.”

When June and Kyle are taking engagement photos, June sees a man staring at her. As impossible as it seems, she knows it’s Josh. This isn’t grief, this is real, and she sees him more than once. While doing some research, she discovers a winery in Napa owned by a married couple—and he is a dead ringer for Josh. June has no choice but to go to Napa and find the truth—but what she uncovers is beyond anything she could imagine.

So, you’ll really need to suspend your disbelief when reading this. It’s definitely a twisty book (and a confusing one at times), but I found the twists really didn’t work for me. I almost would’ve loved more about the wine business and natural wine! But others have loved this, so maybe it’s just me.
