What are the odds that the storm in the book is called Fiona when a storm is brewing near my country by that name.
I thought Tessa was gonna kill Lindsey and I thought they were going to end up togther in the end. Kinda wished we saw what happened to Ethan but then I guess it ended poetic. I am happy she didn't kill her and they found common ground in the end. I just wish Ethan was in her place, yes she plotted but Ethan is the one who made vows.

Copy received via Netgalley for an honest review.
Last night, I picked up this book after finishing another read, with the intent of getting it set up on my kindle to read tonight.
Welp, that didn't happen. I opened this book up to read a chapter, and I didn't put it down till I had finished it.
I felt all the reactions in this book. I felt the anger, the hurt, and oh the rage.
I have never wanted to hit a character over the head with my kindle so hard as I did Ethan. Oh man, he is such a turd!
I could understand all Tessa's fears, frustrations and all, I wanted to slap the smile of Lindsey's face.
However, as much as I liked the story, the end was lacking for me. We never got the confrontation with the cheating douchebag, and man do I feel that I want to see that.
Enjoyable, frustrating book.

A page turner with a great ending! I read this in less than 24 hours. You can tell that the author has been through this by her description of the book and the pain in the words on the page. The subject matter is hard to read, but I was looking for something engaging and this was it! Thank you to Netgalley for the ARC!
Wow! That was...I really don’t have adequate words to do this story justice but I’ll give it my best.
Here’s the setup. Two women, one the wife and one the newly discovered mistress. Ethan, the offending husband, is out of town and Tessa just discovered his betrayal. She’s alone in their big coastal home with a hurricane bearing down on her, her internal storm growing at the same rate. She lures the girlfriend, Lindsey, to the house, not even sure why but wanting to know at a minimum who her husband chose to put their marriage at risk. What happens over the next few hours is one wild, crazy confrontation.
If you’ve ever experienced infidelity, Tessa’s range of emotions will feel awfully familiar. Even though some of her actions may sound crazy, you’d probably identify with them because you’ve been there. What she wanted from Lindsey sometimes felt like a fool’s errand but something you’ve got to explore in the midst of insane thoughts and emotional turmoil. Lindsey, as the other woman, offers a perspective, also relatable whether you identify with it or not, sometimes infuriating and pathetically naive at others. I was astounded at the author’s insights throughout because both of these women seem to capture the appropriate feelings and reactions with precision. When I later learned the author had been through this herself, it all made perfect sense. And, I’m so glad I chose the audio version because the narrators owned these characters. They made me feel!
I finished this in one sitting because I just couldn’t stop listening. It’s a perfect illustration of someone writing about something you know because it felt personal and raw and ugly and chock full of unfiltered vulnerability. It’s just perfect. And crazy.
