Another Woman's Husband by Gill Paul
3.0
3 stars - It was good.
Dual timeline narrative with the modern-ish day having the death of Princess Diana in the background. This timeline was ok though the heroine’s stupidity is exasperating to the point it can pull you out of the story.
The older timeline is focused on Wallis Simpson and the Prince of Wales. This one was more interesting and had me googling various historical topics for supplementation.
The whole novel held my interest and I wouldn’t hesitate to read something else by the author, but I also did not feel compelled to highlight any snippets of prose. Good choice for an easy read that is engaging and brushes on historical events.

First Sentence: Rachel rested her head on Alex’s shoulder and slide a hand onto his thigh.

Spoiler
She’s financially strained and paying rent with credit cards, suspects her fiance of cheating on her with valid reasons for her suspicions. When calculating it has been almost a month since they had sex she realizes she is a week late with her period. Hopes and prays she is pregnant and effing CRIES (sad tears, not happy relief tears) when her period starts. A rational person in this situation would have been crying when they thought they were pregnant by a cheating fiance while broke and indebted.The older timeline is focused on Wallis Simpson and the Prince of Wales.
