Goodreads Synopsis: Staying is dangerous. Leaving could be worse. Leah and McKenna have never met, though they have parallel lives. They don’t—ever—find themselves in the same train carriage or meet accidentally at the gym or the coffee shop. They don’t—ever—discuss their problems and find common ground. They don’t—ever—acknowledge to each other that although their lives have all the trappings of success, wealth and happiness, they are, in fact, trapped. Because Leah understands that what’s inside a home can be more dangerous than what’s outside. Driving past McKenna’s house one night, she sees what she knows only too well herself from her own marriage: McKenna’s “perfect” husband is not what he seems. She decides to keep an eye out for McKenna, until one night, she intervenes. Leah and McKenna have never met. But they will. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/57689197-the-favor?ref=bk_bet_in ***Spoiler Alert*** Thank you to Nora Murphy, St. Martin's Press, and NetGalley for providing me with an ebook advanced reader copy of The Favor for me to read and review. What a great read! This novel made me think back to the film Horrible Bosses, but with domestic abuse at its core rather than toxic work environments. I thought the author did an excellent job portraying the abusive relationships in a honest, enlightening, and raw yet respectful way. I loved the way the role reversal took place. However, I did see quite a few things coming long before they happened and I would have liked some unexpected twists and turns. I enjoyed the way Murphy wrapped up the story and it left me wondering what might happen next. 4 Stars!
