Publisher Description
“Taylor’s dialogue is snappy and contemporary . . . A witty and often amusing family drama.”—Kirkus Reviews
Kassie O’Callaghan’s meticulous plans to divorce her emotionally abusive husband, Mike, and move in with Chris, a younger man she met five years ago on a solo vacation in Venice, are disrupted when she finds out Mike has chronic kidney disease—something he’s concealed from her for years. Once again, she postpones her path to freedom—at least, until she pokes around his pajama drawer and discovers his illness is the least of his deceits.
But Kassie is no angel, either. As she struggles to justify her own indiscretions, the secret lives she and Mike have led collide head-on, revealing a tangled web of sex, lies, and DNA. Still, mindful of her vows, Kassie commits to helping her husband find an organ donor. In the process, she uncovers a life-changing secret. Problem is, if she reveals it, her own immorality will be exposed, which means she has an impossible decision to make: Whose life will she save—her husband’s or her own?

What’s Not Said
What's Not Said is a pretty good debut by the talentedValerie 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.
