Book Description:

With her court date set for her divorce and her plans with the younger man in the rearview mirror, Kassie O’Callaghan shifts attention to reviving her stalled career. But things get complicated when she unexpectedly rendezvous with her former lover in Paris. After a chance meeting there with a colleague and a stroll along Pont Neuf, Kassie receives two compelling proposals. Can she accept them both?

But Kassie’s decision process screeches to a halt when her soon-to-be ex-husband has a heart attack, forcing her to fly home to Boston. There, she confronts his conniving and deceitful fiancée—a woman who wants not just a ring on her finger but everything that belongs to Kassie. In the ensuing battle to protect what’s legally and rightfully hers, Kassie discovers that sometimes it’s what’s not true that can set you free.

Though a standalone novel, What’s Not True is the sequel to What’s Not Said (September 15, 2020).

What’s Not Said is a story about Kassie O’Callaghan, a middle-aged woman on a mission to divorce her emotionally abusive husband and start a new life with a younger man she met while on a solo vacation in Venice. When she learns her husband has chronic kidney disease, her plans collapse until she pokes around his pajama drawer and discovers his illness is the least of his deceits.

Then again, Kassie is no angel. The separate lives they lead collide head-on into a tangled web of sex, lies, and DNA. As she helps her husband find an organ donor, Kassie uncovers a secret, forcing her to decide whose life to save: her husband’s or her own.

WHAT'S NOT TRUE Book Tour Giveaway

My Review

What's Not Said is a pretty good debut by  the talented Valerie Taylor. This is one of those drama filled books that will take a reader on quite an adventurous ride. It had several twists and turns I did not see coming and could not have personally predict the events unfolding within the pages. Just when Kassie knew just where she wanted to go and how to live her life, something else comes up and once again turns her world upside down. It is one of those stories that will play with the many readers’ emotions. One minute, I found myself grabbing tissues and then snorting with laughter the next minute. I feel like many will be able to relate to and connect with Kassie in this book. I thought her story was full of fun and entertainment. I found it to be a quick read that kept me engaged from the start to the very last page. I had no problem having it read in one sitting.

I am giving What's Not Said four and a half stars. I would be interested in reading more by Valerie Taylor in the future. I am hoping she will be releasing something new sooner rather than later. Other readers will not want to pass this one up. I recommend them to give it a try. It is most definitely worth a read and not one to be missed.

I received What's Not Said from the publisher. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
