I always enjoy this author duo, and I was very sucked into this story. It felt weird that it was set in an area where I've spent so much time! Will read more by this pair.

I found the premise of the book really interesting! A “perfect couple” seeking couples counseling from an avant-garde 
ex therapist after an affair turns out to be much more complex and layered that their appearances let on. I was pretty sucked in to this thriller right up until the last 25 % of the book, where the ending fell off a little. 

There were lots of little details to keep straight that lead to an underwhelming ending. Not bad, not great, just alright. Everything seemed too cleanly interconnected at the end. However, this book knew how to unnerve you and keep you asking questions, but I found engaging!

In the spirit of reading tense, twisty books, I thought I knew what was going to happen…and I was surprised it didn’t!

This is a read where you don’t want to miss any word. The character interactions, both spoken and unspoken, are detailed and important and actually threw me off a bit (from my original theory). Couldn’t stop reading this!
