The Women by S.E. Lynes
5.0


What a great story!
As most of the times, I go blind in reading new authors and new books as I rarely read the blurb, but I was captivated by the cover and wanted to know what the title stands for.
I don't usually go for an age gap love story but this book is so much more than that and got me reading it in one sitting from the first chapter to the unexpected end.
Being young and inexperienced, you can easily fall in love with a man that offers you all his attention and supports your dreams. Unexpected situations may always make you take decisions that you are not ready or you are not happy with but for the benefit of your future you have to comply with it. But also you have to believe in your strength and find your tribe, find those women friends that have gone through similar situations and trust them with your story and your thoughts because this way the imbalance of power will end sooner and will give women that opportunity to raise future generations with equal powers in every aspect of their lives.
Peter is the perfect candidate for a deceive monster that will show you exactly what many people are refusing to see: not everything you see it’s true and there will always be the double side of a coin. He is taking so much advantage of his financial and intellectual power as he plays the unseen cards exactly as he wants.
Needless to say that I loved everything in this book, from the writing to the growing of the characters and most of all, the powerful message sent to us for more awareness of how one’s the the outside story can be a psychological nightmare in the inside of their homes.
Looking forward to more stories from the author.
