Publisher's summary
A woman's birthday party takes a dark turn in a poignant, heart-stopping new novel from the reigning queen of suspense, New York Times and USA Today best-selling author of Behind Closed Doors, The Breakdown, and Bring Me Back.
"A heartbreaking page-turner that will have you up at night reading just one more chapter." (Catherine Steadman, number one New York Times best-selling author of Something in the Water)
"The phenomenal B. A. Paris has done it again! I devoured The Dilemma in one sitting - it grabbed me from the very first page and wouldn't let go until I'd finished. Secrets, guilt, shame, and heartbreak - this story has it all in spades." (Sandie Jones, New York Times best-selling author of The Other Woman)
Knowing the truth will destroy her. Keeping it secret will destroy him.
It's Livia's 40th birthday, and her husband, Adam, is throwing her the party of a lifetime to make up for the wedding they never had. Everyone she loves will be there, except her daughter, Marnie, who's studying abroad. But Livia is secretly glad Marnie won't be there.
Livia has recently uncovered a secret about their daughter that, if revealed, will shake the foundation of their family to its core. She needs to tell Adam, but she's waiting until the party is over so they can have this last happy time together.
Adam, meanwhile, has his own surprise for Livia: He's arranged for Marnie to secretly fly back for the party. But before Marnie arrives, Adam hears some terrible news. Now he, too, is faced with a dilemma: Does he share what he's learned with his wife? Is hiding the truth the same as telling a lie? And how far are Adam and Livia willing to go to protect the ones they love - and give each other a last few hours of happiness?

She's been trying to put the crime out of her mind; what could she have done, really? It's a dangerous road to be on in the middle of a storm. Her husband would be furious if he knew she'd broken her promise not to take that shortcut home. And she probably would only have been hurt herself if she'd stopped.

Story
I close the binder I’ve been writing in, and walk into the living room. As I stare out of the window at your house next door, I think about all the things I stand to lose if someone comes for me. My handsome, loving husband, who has no idea what I’ve done. My family, who have supported me no matter what. This beautiful home near the ocean, where I thought I would be safe.

Story
Getting snowed in at a luxurious, rustic ski chalet high in the French Alps doesn’t sound like the worst problem in the world. Especially when there’s a breathtaking vista, a full-service chef and housekeeper, a cozy fire to keep you warm, and others to keep you company. Unless that company happens to be eight coworkers…each with something to gain, something to lose, and something to hide.

LIFETIME MOVIE!
Honestly everything about this book is like a lifetime movie!
Don't get me wrong, I found myself enjoying the book, but it definitely isn't what I was expecting.

Similar yet different
This was an ok read. The writing style is familiar but It was described as a psychological thriller but im not sure I agree with that. There is the tug that keeps you just interested enough to find out what happens but its not really a mystery with a twist. It is good storytelling related to family dynamics and response to crisis.

Layers of internal narrative
This book had two different narrative points of view. Occasionally I wanted to yell at the characters and tell them to stop overthinking everything. But that is what gave the book depth. It did leave me feeling really sad.

Took me by surprise
I’m still shocked that I finished this book in 5 days, Great story, I felt all what the characters were feeling BA. Paris you have done it again. I say again because I read all the others before this one.
The name of the book is quite fitting.

not her best
Definitely not my favorite. I feel like it could have been cut short by an hour or two with all the what ifs of the past and what ifs of the future. Still a good read but definitely not the suspense and twists that I've come to love from BA Paris

Couldn't stop listening this book.
I'm not sure what genre this fits into but it was a great story from the beginning and I couldn't stop listening!
Although there wasn't much of a plot twist like the usual thriler would have I was engaged the whole time and was satisfied with the ending, as sad as it was. Definitely one I will remember.

Not a thriller
This is the first book I have read by B.A. Paris . I thought she wrote thrillers and so I was not prepared for this one. This is a family drama . The story is ok , but also frustrating at times . It will make you want to yell at the characters to do the reasonable thing.

Good but Drawn-out
I enjoyed the listening. the narration was great. However, I got frustrated with how long it took for them to figure out what each was trying to say. I thought the objective advice given by Olivia's mom with regard to how she should handle the dilemma with her friend was insightful. Overall, I enjoyed the book.
