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!

a man turning out to be crazy and abusive

in thrillers will never surprise me.

the 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.

marissa distrusts other women the whole book, while it was her own damn husband.

and at the end the women support each other. I like the subversion of the catty women stereotype here.
