I had heard good things about this book and was hoping that I had found a new author to read. Sadly this was Harrison's debut novel and it turns out to be her final one because she died of cancer while writing her second one. This novel has been compared to Gone Girl which I just loved. There were similarities and I enjoyed this one too. It is told from the viewpoints of Jodi and Todd - and they have rather different points of view! They have been together for more than two decades. They live in a beautiful condo in Chicago. Todd has been cheating on Jodi since the beginning. Jodi is the "queen of denial". She is perfectly happy keeping a clean house, fixing gourmet meals, walking their dog and working part-time. When their happy arrangement begins to crumble it gets nasty. Remember that "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned". No truer words were ever written. It isn't a very long book - I started it in the afternoon and finished it that night. If you like books that don't end "happily ever after" this would be a book for you!
