Description

From the New York Times bestselling author of Ghosted and The Love of My Life, The One Day You Were My Husband is an emotional thriller combining a powerful love story with a dark mystery at its heart.

Carrie and Johan marry on a beach in Thailand only months into their whirlwind romance. Carrie, a British surgical intern, knows the decision is impulsive but is too happy to care. Then, as their wedding celebrations continue into the night, armed men suddenly storm the beach and take Johan away. Carrie never sees him again.

Twelve years later, Carrie is living in the English countryside with her husband, Robin, and their six-year-old twins. Her life is far removed from the one she once imagined, until an online post reveals something she never expected: Johan escaped from Thailand years ago and has been living in Stockholm ever since.

The discovery brings memories of their relationship flooding back and leaves Carrie consumed by questions about what happened on their wedding day and why Johan disappeared from her life.

As she searches for answers, Carrie is forced to reconsider what she thought she knew about the past. What begins as a search for the truth becomes a deeply personal reckoning with first love, the life she has built and the secrets capable of changing everything.
