Many thanks to NetGalley, Gallery Books, and Caroline Louise Walker for the opportunity to read her debut novel - great read and I can't wait to read more from this author!
Oh what a tangled web do we weave when first we practice to deceive! That pretty much sums up this book but it's a delicious tale along the way.
Dr Robert Hart is indeed the Man of the Year, as he was voted in the upscale Sag Harbor community where he lives with his second wife. He has a thriving practice, a beautiful home and boat and is the envy of all. He's trying to get his relationship with Jonah, his son with his first wife, back on track after the marriage to his mother imploded. Jonah was struggling at school and brings home a friend, Nick, to stay with him for the summer with his dad. Nick has his own baggage - both parents deceased until tragic circumstances. Dr Hart feels like he and Elizabeth are doing Nick a huge favor by letting him stay in their perfect world. Until Robert starts feeling like there is something going on between Nick and Elizabeth. He becomes paranoid and desperate. And that's just the beginning of the troubles that lie ahead.
I devoured this book and got into these messy characters. Wonderful writing and it all kept me guessing until the end - highly recommended!
