Our love story is simple. I met a gorgeous woman. We fell in love. We had kids. We moved to the suburbs. We told each other our biggest dreams, and our darkest secrets. And then we got bored.
We look like a normal couple. We’re your neighbors, the parents of your kid’s friend, the acquaintances you keep meaning to get dinner with.
We all have our secrets to keeping a marriage alive.
Ours just happens to be getting away with murder.
There’s something deeply disturbing about this book, in the most fantastic way!!! This is one of those books that will have you reading furiously while repeating “just one more chapter”.
How far might one couple go to satisfy a secret shared obsession. What started it all? You’ll soon realize how your childhood past can manifest itself in thrilling ways. Anyone would feel sad about the way Milicient’s disturbed sister treated her as a child. Milicient seems to make up for it by having two children that she cares deeply about. So much so, she is strict with homework, diet, family time…
But her marriage is by no means “normal” and impossible to stop reading about! A thrilling twisty thriller that will have you gasping at the end! Highly recommend!!
