Love the cover for this book. I like the idea of this book - Cordelia comes to Arden, a crisis management expert to help revitalize her family’s image after her husband is declared innocent in a car accident in which a man died. Cordelia then disappears to a trip leaving Arden to meet with her husband to fix the mess.
I felt like it was predictable. The chapters often leave on cliff-hangers, so it keeps people turning pages.
“…he repeats that New Year’s Eve moment in his mind as if it were something he could edit or alter or hit some cosmic undo button…” prologue
“Truth is only what someone believes or can be convinced to believe.” Ch 9
“[she]…thought about truth and fairness and families and how one wrong word can ruin so many people and how the right words can sometimes, sometimes remedy that, or even better, prevent the damage in the first place.” Ch 15
“True enough. As if there were levels of truth.” Ch 23
“Politics was sometimes the science, the craft, the art of making things happen, the way you thought is best.” Ch 56
“What gives me joy… Joy, the thing that had changed her life me for the worse, and then for the better… What gives me joy, is guiding people through their tough times .. sometimes we have disasters not of our making… sometimes we have a hand in it, but … I want to be there, for those who need help…” ch 82
