The Trophy Wife by Sunday Tomassetti Book Review


 

Cate Cabot works in a high-end antique store, but she lives in a lower-end apartment outside of Palm Shores. She enjoys her job, enjoys most of the people she encounters who wander into the shop. She was quite surprised when Odessa befriended her. Cate became obsessed with Odessa.

Enter Odessa DuVernay. A well-to-do client who befriends Cate, even though Cate doesn’t do friends, doesn’t allow herself to get close to anybody, and it’s against store policy to fraternize with the customers.

Amada, Cate’s coworker.

Margaret and Elinor, Cate’s employers and owner of Smith + Rose (where Cate works).

Zsofia, the adopted daughter of the DuVernays.

Charles and Aviva DuVernay. The parents.

Aviana DuVernay, the daughter.

Sean, Cate’s boyfriend. Making Cate wonder how she got so lucky that he sticks around.

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!
