What are friends for?

Wallflower Cate Cabot has always been content to keep the world at arms’ length, particularly from behind the register at the upscale Floridian boutique where she’s worked for the last nine years. Her days are filled with old-moneyed locals and nouveau-riche tourists, most of them paying her no mind as she rings up their lavish hauls.

Until Odessa DuVernay.

At first glance, she’s just another picture-perfect Palm Shores trophy wife—until she proves herself personable, humble, and unassuming. She even goes so far as to take a genuine interest in Cate, inviting her for lunch dates, matinees, and girl talk—a refreshing change of pace for the woman who never quite mastered the art of making (and keeping) friends.

But what begins as an unlikely friendship detours into the unthinkable when Odessa leaves Cate a panicked voicemail asking to meet—and then ghosts her. And worse—when Cate attempts to find her, it’s as if the enigmatic Mrs. DuVernay never existed at all…

Consumed, Cate refuses to stop searching. But the truth won’t come easy.

In fact, it could cost her everything.

"There has to be a catch."

Author Sunday Tomasetti says in this book's preface that she aimed to create a dark thriller among the sunny backdrop of Florida. I think she absolutely knocked the contrast out of the park!

We meet Cate who works at high-end consignment shop in the glamorous Floridian city of Palm Shores. One afternoon a "trophy wife" walks in--the women dripping with wealth without a source of income to speak of despite their much older husbands and morphed by so much plastic surgery they'd be wholly unrecognizable at a high school reunion and not a thing to do all day but shop, eat, and boss around the help--one unlike any Cate has ever seen before. This woman, Mrs. Odessa DuVernay is classy, respectful, elegant, charming, kind, polite. She's a swan among geese and Cate takes notice. Cate befriends the woman despite years of class discrimination telling her not to.

Next, we meet Zsofia, the full-time help at the DuVernay estate, among other things. She has a much different perspective of Mrs. DuVernay--a cold, callous woman who lacks empathy and love and who might be as wicked as the Witch of the West.

Who is the real Mrs. DuVernay? What makes her tick? What does she want?

Wow! What a wild ride! I didn't see the breathtaking twists in this suspenseful tale coming. The characters were vivid and believable. The setting was enchanting and consuming. This is a must read!

I had an ohmigosh moment when I got to the end of this book. I am a huge Minka Kent “fan,” and I had no idea that she wrote this book as Sunday Tomassetti. Have you ever had one of those moments? Where an author you enjoy has written under a pen name and you had no clue? I just want to buy “all the books now.” This read will have you turning pages until you get to the very end and give you that “I never saw that coming” feeling. If other books written under the Sunday Tomassetti pen name are anything like The Trophy Wife … we are all in for a treat!

3.0 out of 5 stars Muddled conclusion
Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2020

This story tried for twisty and intriguing. There’s two points of view — Cate and Zsofia’s. At the beginning, I enjoyed Zsofia’s the most because it seemed to be the one with the secrets about the trophy wife. I figured out one of the twists around the halfway mark, but turns out that was right before the reveal anyway.

Though the story was primarily interesting, it never had an edge-of-your-seat feel. It took awhile for the story to build because the trophy wife Cate becomes friendly with doesn’t disappear until over halfway through. So the first half of the book, Cate’s chapters are pretty mundane because she doesn’t have much going on or any suspenseful purpose/function. And then once she gets ghosted by the trophy wife, her level of interest didn’t really seem to match up with the interactions the women had. The friendship was pretty superficial, so it was hard for me to sink my teeth into as far as feeling my own connection to the women.

There is a twist, but it felt like kind of a throwaway to me. After all this back and forth and believing one thing, there’s this element that’s out of left field. It could have been shocking, but something about the execution made it too quiet or less impactful. I think it’s because I felt like, everything I read from one of the women was a lie and was therefore pointless.

Plus there are some editing issues with commas and the like. I’ve read other works by this author (under her other pseudonyms) and enjoyed them, but this one didn’t do it for me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing book with twists and turns aplenty!

Wow! This book amazed me with its many twists and turns. Cate Cabot works at an exclusive boutique in Palm Shores, Florida. She doesn’t do friends, preferring to keep people at a distance—even the boyfriend who loves her. Then Odessa DuVernay walks into the boutique. From the start, Odessa is different than most of the trophy-wife clientele Cate is accustomed to dealing with. She’s pleasant and friendly and takes a sincere interest in Cate—inviting her to lunch, engaging her in girl talk, going to a movie matinee.

It’s an adjustment for Cate. Then just when she finds herself opening up, Odessa mysteriously disappears. Not long afterward, Cate gets a panicked voicemail from Odessa asking to meet. When Cate arrives at the designated place, Odessa ghosts her. Concerned, Cate begins a search of her new friend, only to hit obstacle after obstacle. It’s like Odessa DuVernay never existed.

This is where things get VERY weird. Not just one unexpected turn, but several surprises that are cleverly unraveled a bit at a time by the author. When the final revelation arrives, it’s a jaw-dropper, and SOOOOO GOOOD! A thread I never expected, but one I love when it is handled deftly and Tomassetti definitely did that. If you enjoy psychological fiction, this is an inventive and highly riveting take on the genre. Superb!

This is a solid 4-star book. The story was interesting and kept me guessing all the way until the end. I did not see the twists coming and was shocked when I read them. I liked Cate, she was a likable and kind person, I liked Odessa and really felt sorry for her, I just didn’t see the end coming. Even though I loved all the twists, I felt the very ending of was lackluster and could have been better. Over, great story and interesting plot that really makes you think.

I found this book tedious at first. None of the characters were appealing. There was no one I liked and wanted to identify and root for. And not much was happening.

About 1/3 of the way in, there started to be some dramatic tension. Something interesting was happening, although it wasn’t clear exactly what. By the halfway point, the story was actually almost intriguing. I wanted to find out what was actually going on.

And then came the resolution. <big eye roll> Sheesh! The author actually wants me to buy this??

Not my cup of tea, I’m afraid. This author is going on my list of authors to avoid.

I am a fan of Winter, Minka not so much Sunday. I dragged the first few chapters and at chapter 11 I couldn't stop reading. I think I am used to the other books.
