Kiersten does it again!! This plot seemed real and I loved hearing the twists and rooting for Edith the whole way through.
Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher, and Kiersten Modglin for providing an ARC of the audiobook for my honest review.

First, I want to thank Kiersten Modglin for allowing me to read an ARC of this book. I’m not even going to wait until the end of my review to say this: You MUST pre-order this book. It comes out on March 1, and you won’t want to wait a day to read it! I finished this book in less than 8 hours!
Edith and Joe’s marriage is not great. He has previously lied to her and Edith will not let him get away with it again. He’s cheated on her before and she’s afraid he’s doing it again when she finds photos of another woman on his phone. He claims that he has no idea how the photos got there. When Edith sets out to figure out who this woman is and why her photos are in Joe’s phone, she uncovers more secrets than she ever thought possible.
This has to be one of my favorite books by this author. Edith was likeable and very relateable. I could see myself trying to figure out who the woman was if my husband was cheating on me with another woman. Also, Dan was FANTASTIC. It was so wonderful that Edith had a ride or die friend in her corner. We could all use a friend like Dan.
Of course this wouldn’t be a KMOD book without twists and turns. There were definitely at least two twists that left me gasping and saying “What?!” The book is fast paced and a true page turner.

Joe & Edith. Seem to be an ordinary couple, working to get ahead. He's cheated on her before and she's working on trusting him again.
She finds photos of a naked woman on her phone, and in true gaslighting fashion, he tries to explain it away. Edith follows him to a restaurant and sees the woman from the pictures. She knows he's lying, but she questions herself. And wonders if he's lying about other things.
Edith takes a job at the restaurant and starts getting to know Amma, the woman in the pictures on his phone. Many twists and turns, lies and secrets come out right up until the end.
Joe is pretty much trash, but Dan was a bright light in this story! We should all have a friend like Dan.
Many thanks to Dreamscape Media and NetGalley for an advance audio copy in exchange for my honest review.

Thank you Netgalley for the opportunity to read this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
The plot was promising with a wife (Edith) finding pictures of another woman on her husband's phone. It's not the first time this situation has happened, but it is the first time Edith will do something about it and not fall for her husband's lies. I enjoyed the premise of the storyline but felt like I wanted the book to end... There just wasn't enough action for me and not enough twists and turns. Edith created a plan to meet the other woman but did not have a guideline of how she was going to approach her. There were some situations in the book where I was like what the heck how are you married to someone like that and Edith was an okay character and the ending made the entire book! The narration was just one voice and she did a good job at bringing the text to life. I found it easy to differentiate between the characters and the pacing of the storyline overall was a bit slow.
If you're looking for a quick thriller, this is the one. However, I found it a slow burn at first and was waiting for something exciting to happen throughout the novel.
