Summary
Keeping it secret will destroy him.
‘A powerful, beautifully crafted story that ratchets up the tension with every page and packs a huge emotional punch’ TM Logan, bestselling author of The Catch
It’s Livia’s 40th birthday and she’s having the party of a lifetime to make up for the wedding she never had. Everyone she loves will be there except her daughter Marnie, who’s studying abroad. But although Livia loves Marnie, she’s secretly glad she won’t be at the party. She needs to tell Adam something about their daughter but she’s waiting until the party is over so they can have this last happy time together.
Adam wants everything to be perfect for Livia so he’s secretly arranged for Marnie to come home and surprise her on her birthday. During the day, he hears some terrible news. He needs to tell Livia, because how can the party go on? But she’s so happy, so excited – and the guests are about to arrive.
The Dilemma – how far would you go to give someone you love a last few hours of happiness?
One day that will change a family forever, The Dilemma is the breathtaking, heartbreaking new novel from the international, million-copy-selling, Sunday Times bestseller, B A Paris.

Very good
I’ve both loved and loathed this authors work. This was very good. You could feel the weight of the burdens people were carrying, it was so well written, the characters well drawn. The narrators were excellent.

Not really much of a Dilemma..
Not much of a Dilemma I thought the story was quite weak. It was recommended to me. But I wouldn't say it was that good.

Interesting concept but too drawn out lacking action
Like the others say it is very difficult to like the characters. It’s almost like as if they were sociopaths of some type.
The premise of how one action can start a chain of events is interesting but gets lost in a storyline that if you skipped the middle 10 chapters you could still follow (I fell asleep for 3 chapters and still could follow it when I woke up) I kept waiting for something to happen but it never really did.
However, the narrators do a great job and it wasn’t the worst book I’ve listened to it’s ok, to pass the time whilst you potter around.

Great narrator
The book had a good storyline but the last 2hours were long and drawn out, this spoilt it , it’s based on human emotion but so in depth it made me miserable and I literally couldn’t wait for it to finish

Too drawn out!!!! FRUSTRATING!!!
OMG.....!!!!!!! This book was soooooooo drawn out. A couple married for over 20yrs who don't know how to communicate with each other! The last quarter of the book was so frustrating I found myself shouting out to hurry up and say what needs to be said but it just went on and on and on!!!
Livia was a most irritating, selfish and childish woman, going on about her stupid party like a 5yr old. Why didn't she wait for their silver wedding anniversary and have a "wedding" party then.
How many times did they say the stupid name 'Marnie'????
It could have been a brilliant book, the concept was brilliant but it was just too frustrating.
When Adam was FINALLY trying to tell Livia what had happened, she kept butting in and asking "was it this. ..was it that??" OMG woman, just shut up and listen. I felt like shaking the two of them!!!
The last quarter of the book spoilt the whole thing.
Good narration.

ok
Main characters were 2 of the most annoying characters I've ever come across in a book and I've listened to a lot of books! First time I've actually left a review because they annoyed me so much lol!

Too long!
Started well, but ended up being about an hour too long or at least I felt the story was stretched out way way too much. Won’t give any spoilers but it wasn’t very thrilling!
