What this book is about
Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen's psychological thriller appears to follow a jealous ex-wife obsessing over her former husband's new fiancée — and then reveals that everything the reader assumed was wrong. The twist-driven structure is the novel's primary pleasure; the domestic abuse element gives it real weight. For adult readers of psychological thrillers.
