The Lifestyle

A Novel

By: Deanna Lynn Sletten

Narrated by: Jennifer Groberg

Her life was picture perfect…until it wasn’t.

What happens when a twist of fate makes all your dreams come true, and then you watch your life unravel before you?

Eight years ago, Kylie Madison was a new mother with a baby who rarely slept, even at eight months old. Exhausted and feeling isolated as a stay-home mom while her husband, Jordon, works twelve-hour shifts, she opened up to her few friends on Instagram late one night, asking if there were any other tired moms out there struggling. To her surprise, many women answered her. After that night, she begins to share her struggles, successes, and parenting dilemmas, and her following grows as other women feel a connection with her. Before Kylie knows it, she’s become an influencer and companies are willing to pay her to promote their products. Slowly, her life becomes her job and the earnings are amazing. But every silver lining has a dark cloud on the horizon.

Eight years later, Kylie is successful and on the verge of becoming a lifestyle guru with her own television show, but her past sneaks up to take it all away. Her children hate being a part of their mother’s brand, and her husband is pulling away from her. Then, the girl who once worked for her as a nanny has written a tell-all book about Kylie and her family, exposing secrets about their lifestyle that will ruin her. And there’s nothing Kylie can do to stop her. Or is there?

Narrator good

Quite different from other books by this author. The characters were well developed. The plot was a bit predictable, but I’d recommend this one to a reader.
