What a book!  It's going to challenge me to write spoiler-free thoughts.  I'll try. Grief, love, secrets, and second chances are the major themes. The female character, Honor's narration is like a conversation with a friend--she knows she's fussy and stuck-up and flawed.  That is what makes her such a compelling narrator.  All of the characters are revealed through flashback and present-day timelines, a technique that works well. Tom, the main male character, made some very questionable choices that kept me reading. Like, I just wanted to shake him or thwack him upside the head.  

From the publisher:

Honor seems to have everything. She adores her daughter Chloe and her husband Tom (even if he does work one hundred hours a week). But her longing for another baby threatens to eclipse all of it―until a shocking event changes their lives forever.

Years later Tom makes a decision that ripples through their families' lives in ways he could not have foreseen. As the consequences of that fateful choice unfold, two women's paths become irrevocably intertwined. But when old love clashes with new, who will be left standing? And what happens when your secrets come back to haunt you?
