Four and a half Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭒
The Three Loves of Sebastian Cooper by Zoë Folbigg is a family drama set around a man’s untimely death. All of Seb’s family and friends gather for his funeral, and we learn abuout his life, through the lens of his family and friends.

At Sebestian Cooper’s funeral, his family and friends gather to pay their respects to Sebastian Cooper who died suddenly. In the church at the funeral is Clair, Seb’s wife of twenty years and mother to his two children. Also there is Desiree, Seb’s second wife and the woman he left Clair for. And the third woman at the funeral is Naoemi, Seb’s most recent gilfriend and the last woman to see him alive.

All three women loved Sebastian Cooper, but only one held his heart. And only one knows what really happened to him on the day he died.

This story is messy, realistic and riveting, and I enjoyed ever second of reading.
It’s a character driven story, and I loved all these characters. Sebastian is such a character, he’s very outgoing and social and it’s hard not to like him, even if he did cheat on his first wife! And the women were all so different, and yet loved Sebastian in different ways. I just loved Claire and Desiree, they both deserved better than Sebastian, but I can understand their love for him as he’s such a charming man. Naeomee on the other hand was a bit much, but her character was also very vivid and realistic.

I also enjoyed the story about Claire and Sebastion’s parents, especially Seb’s parents. It helps me to understand Sebastion and why he made some of the decisions he made. He’s far from perfect, but at least he knows he’s not perfect.

I highly recommend The Three Loves of Sebastian Cooper to anyone who enjoys women’s fiction. I received a complimentary copy of this book. The opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
