As a therapist myself, after reading the synopsis I worried this book was going to irritate me with false views of the counseling profession and possibly mental health. But I’m relieved that this did not happen. I thought it was well wrote with some clever twists and turns, and overall closed the storyline well. I questioned why the authors chose point of views from the two women, until about 2/3 in the book I figured out what was happening and it made sense.

4.5 stars. I went into this book knowing very little and I’m glad I did. It tells a complex story of a couple and the lies threatening to destroy them. This author almost never disappoints- great read.

It is 3 am as I am finishing this and I could blame the late afternoon coffee but really I couldn’t go to bed without finishing it

Once again Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen have delivered a psychological thriller that left me, until the very end, trying to put the pieces of the puzzle together.

Marissa and Matthew Bishop are the golden couple. It appears to the world that this couple has everything going for them.

Avery Chambers is a counselor who lost her license after she started using some maverick techniques in her counseling practice. Avery claims that if she cannot "fix" you in 10 sessions then she won't take you on as a client.

A friend of Marissa's recommends that she contact Avery for help. At their first appointment, Marissa springs on Matthew that she had an affair with a random guy from her gym but she wants to save their marriage.

It is a fast paced story from the beginning. I have been in sort of a reading rut. I have not been gravitating to reading and I was frustrated. I knew that Hendricks and Pekkanen would be able to get me out of my reading funk. I read this book in three days which isn't typically fast but for right now, it was.

I received an ARC of this book from St Martin's Press and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts & opinions are my own.
