The Girl I Was Before

When Lily McDermott walks in to find her husband of just three months in bed with a famous actress, life as she knows it is over. Lily thinks things can't get any worse when she sees photos of her husband and his new lover splashed across the glossy magazine pages, but when she loses her job too, she is at her lowest ebb and turns to baking to soothe her soul. Wounded and broken, she has to try and pick herself up again with the help of her best friend Frankie. With her encouragement, Lily decides to turn her hobby into a business and sets up Baked With Love. However whatever Lily does, it seems disaster soon ensues… When a handsome stranger comes to her rescue, Lily isn't quite ready to turn her back on her marriage. Can she risk opening her heart again or is she destined to allow Marc to overshadow her life forever?

I can’t help but give this book only one star. Lily is an infuriating character who has no backbone to speak of. Her husband leaves her for another woman and she keeps sucking up to him as to get him to want her back. Her sister is an awful person treating her with utter disrespect and she keeps on apologising to her for I don’t know what. And the worst is that she doesn’t mean no when she says no and can be convinced to do anything at all. Bleh what an awful story. Couldn’t even listen through to the end and definitely don’t understand the need for a sequel.
