Oh. My. God. This book deserves ALLLLLL the hype it’s getting and then some. A little over halfway through, I remember thinking to myself that while I was enjoying the book, I just didn’t get the hype. I didn’t see where the plot was going. Yes, there was drama, and tension, and questions to be asked but I didn’t see the point. BUT DONT WORRY, because it all came unraveling faster than I could have ever imagined. KMod - how do you do it?! This book was nothing like what I anticipated and I loved every single second of it. Send help for my bank account, because KMod has officially secured her spot as an “auto buy author”. GO READ THIS BOOK!

Holy f. This book is wild. A husband and wife decide to have an open marriage. It turns out nothing is real and everyone is lying about everything. Their poor 3 kids. This couple needs a lot of help. The twists and turns are unexpected. There’s some shock and awe that was not necessary and slightly cheesy but I think it’s definitely a book I would recommend for anyone who likes mysteries or thrillers.

"For better or worse. Because your only choice now is to kill me yourself of stay with me forever. I own your secret now Peter. I own you."
what in the actual hell did I just read ? When I pick up a book written by Kiersten Modglin, I know for sure its going to be messed up and amazing in all the right ways, BUT THIS ONE!!! It is definitely at the top of my list for sure- hooked from the very first chapter- I read it all in one sitting.
This book is told in alternating POVs between married couple Ainsley and Peter. When they realized their marriage was falling apart, they made an arrangement- they could both go out with other people, sleep with them or whatever they wanted, both agreeing to not ask questions. However, one horrible thing happens that just unlocks a closet full of things to keep happening. they must rely on each other to fix the mess they've created.
This book is INSANE. It goes from being a book about fixing a marriage to a twisty turny thriller that literally had me on edge of my seat. It was almost like Ainsley and Peter were competing to see who could reveal the darkest secrets first. They were an insane couple that despite all the skeletons in the closet, work their crazies very well together. The whole book flew by BUT THE SECOND HALF!!!! It literally was one thing after another that left me speechless until the last word !! Shock after shock after shock!! Thank god she wrote a sequel... the amendment.. lets see what crazy charades these two are up to next...

This book was insane. I genuinely just thought it’d be some affair and someone kills someone blah blah but oh GOD the never ending twists were crazy and unexpected. I finished it in basically a day.
I did like the back and forth of narration. I was confused a lot of the time why the characters made certain decisions but oh did the ending explain it all.
** SPOILERS **
But also god the ending made me hate them both. It’s crazy while reading it you kinda root for them and their marriage. Turns out she’s a psycho freak and HES A RAPIST MURDERER??? I kinda felt sick finding that out. After you just took this whole journey in his head, disgusting. And when we find out Ainsley literally knew about it?? I feel bad for their CHILDREN. Someone go save them kids for god sake.
I had a feeling something was weird when he went on the first date and was so comfortable to go back to Mallory’s place. It was very strange that you were led to believe he was shy and timid but he went into this open relationship concept so easily.

This was super good. The twists at the end just kept on coming, they really took me by surprise. I’ve been recommended this author so many times and I’m glad I finally gave her a go because it was super entertaining and tense. Also I loved how a lot of it was centered around their complex and unusual relationship.
