   Cap No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra.  cspiwak | Mar 6, 2024 |    ) muddyboy | Jul 17, 2023 | I was drawn into this one because of the true-crime element and the fact that it was a story about a woman who managed to have to husbands and families. Told from Cassie and Lore's perspective we slowly learn the details of Lore's relationship with her husbands. I enjoyed that the story shifted between the 80s and 2017 to tell the story so that the events were more real. Even if they were told through Lore's memory of the events. And if there is one thing this book highlights its the way memories can shift to support the narrative we have created. Cassie struggles with understanding some of the decisions her mother made and I think this is what draws her to wanting to understand Lore's motivations. A lot of the story was just these two women trying to discover themselves. As Cassie learns more about Lore she becomes obsessed with understanding what happened the night of the murder. A topic Lore does not want to discuss. Eventually, Lore agrees to tell Cassie bits and pieces of that night in exchange for information about Cassie. It is through these converstations that Cassie begins to confront things in her life. She begins to see that in some ways her and Lore are similiar, especially in regards to keeping secrets. The narrative soon becomes about Cassie trying to uncover what really happened that night, and the closer she gets, the more lies she has to unravel. I did suspect the truth about what happened, but I was slightly mistaken on the actual events. This book is an amazing look at love, betrayal, a sense of self, but also the lengths we will go to protect our family. (  ) BookReviewsbyTaylor | Jul 5, 2023 |  ) LittleSpeck | Jun 20, 2023 | This is about Dolores “Lore” Rivera who marries Andres Russo in Mexico City, even though she is already married to Fabian Rivera in Laredo, Texas, and they share twin sons. Through her career as an international banker, Lore splits her time between two countries and two families—until the truth is revealed and one husband is arrested for murdering the other. Then in 2017, Cassie is immediately enticed by what is not explored: Why would a woman—a mother—risk everything for a secret double marriage? Cassie sees an opportunity—she’ll track Lore down and capture the full picture, the choices, the deceptions that led to disaster. Soon, her determination to uncover the truth could threaten to derail Lore’s now quiet life—and expose the many secrets both women are hiding. Told through alternating timelines, More Than You’ll Ever Know is both a gripping mystery and a wrenching family drama. Presenting a window into the hearts of two very different women, it explores the many conflicting demands of marriage and motherhood, and the impossibility of ever truly knowing someone—especially those we love. Cassie and Lore form some kind of close relationship/bond and find a friend in the other it seems, but it's a weird situation with Cassie looking into the murder of Andres and questioning Lore digging into her life, everyone's lives, and everything. Going through this investigation and questioning Lore brings things to the surface for Cassie to have to face and deal with as well as for Lore and her family also. It starts a bit slow but then picks up and then at the end I was racing through the pages to find out all the answers to what happened with Lore and her double life back then and everything. It's a rollercoaster ride that has a bit of a surprise twist right at the end. I would put content/trigger warnings for abuse, miscarriage, a few instances of a bit more on the page discussion, or a description of intimacy/spiciness and such. Thanks so much to NetGalley, William Morrow, and Scene of the Crime early reads for letting me read and review this intriguing story. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I might have skipped it otherwise as it features a true crime writer as the protagonist,
which is beginning to be ubiquitous.
The author does a great job with humanizing the characters, both the ambitious true crime writer and, surprisingly, the woman who marries two men.I had to keep reminding myself what Lore, the bigamist, was supposed to have done.
There is a nice bit of suspense towards the end and I liked the narrative structure, going back and forth between the two protagonists and between the thinks that had happened twenty years ago and what was happening now (
