Synopsis

Louise is a single mom, a secretary, stuck in a modern-day rut. On a rare night out, she meets a man in a bar and sparks fly. Though he leaves after they kiss, she’s thrilled she finally connected with someone.

When Louise arrives at work on Monday, she meets her new boss, David. The man from the bar. The very married man from the bar…who says the kiss was a terrible mistake but who still can’t keep his eyes off Louise.

And then Louise bumps into Adele, who’s new to town and in need of a friend, but she also just happens to be married to David. David and Adele look like the picture-perfect husband and wife, but then why is David so controlling, and why is Adele so scared of him?

As Louise is drawn into David and Adele’s orbit, she uncovers more puzzling questions than answers. The only thing that is crystal clear is that something in this marriage is very, very wrong, but Louise can’t guess how wrong―and how far a person might go to protect their marriage’s secrets.

My Thoughts

This one hard review to write not because I didn’t like it but because I LOVED it so much! It's hard to discuss mainly because I don’t want to spoil it for anyone who hasn’t read it yet.  Let me just say this read was nothing like anything I have EVER read before. For those who want to read it, I’ll just say you have to go into this with an open mind that’s the only way you can enjoy and accept this for what it is. Trust me the pay off it well worth it and the ending….OMG!!! I never saw it coming and its nothing like I’ve ever read before in a book. I’m so glad I didn’t know that much about the book going in, because I went into this blind I let the story unfold and simply went with the flow of the novel and the ride was so mind blowing I’m still thinking about it weeks later.  If you want a unique, twisted and out of this world reading experience all you have to do is pick up this read, sit back and enjoy!
