Many thanks to NetGalley, Henry Holt and Macmillan Audio for gifting me a digital and audio ARC of the debut novel by Justine Sullivan, and beautifully narrated by Kelli Tager - 4 stars!
Liz is a new mother to Emma, married to handsome and successful Arno, and trying to work on her second novel. When she inadvertently sees a somewhat flirty text from her husband's coworker, she begins to question Arno's faithfulness, which leads her to behave in all kinds of questionable ways. Is it all in her mind or is Arno cheating on her?
First of all, the narration on this one was fabulous and really kept me intrigued. While it's being promoted as a psychological thriller, it's more of a character-driven domestic drama. Putting aside more the more serious issue of postpartum depression, this is just a well-written story of a woman desperate to keep her life intact. There are lots of humorous moments to keep you reading. Liz makes some bad decisions, but most can relate to a thought-worm that gets trapped in your brain and you twist reality to fit. Anxious to read more from this author!
