Spoiler
a man turning out to be crazy and abusivethe book is pretty good overall, though. both perspectives—client marissa and ‘consultant’ avery—are engaging. so refreshing that avery is a woman happily single with a good career.
Spoiler
marissa distrusts other women the whole book, while it was her own damn husband.Graphic: Domestic abuse, Infidelity, and Toxic relationship

fell flat for me, and some aspects were just too convenient and seemed to only come together so the book can be completely tied up with a little bow of “the end”It is something I’d most enjoy as a beach or vacation read if I had to pick the best time for it.
