He's the perfect husband. The perfect father. The perfect business man. Plus, he's very handsome. But what is his real name? Which identity is real? House to house he jumps, never giving more of himself than he needs to, but leaving behind mess after mess. Ash is determined to dig into who he really is when he begins dating her mother.

Thank you Lisa Jewell and Atria Books for the eARC in exchange for a thorough and honest review. All thoughts here are mine and mine alone.

It can be very difficult to pull off a book with as many storylines and characters as this book had without leaving the reader confused, but Lisa Jewell does it with efficiency and ease. The voicing for each storyline made it easy to follow and stay engaged in the plot. 

This book felt different than a typical thriller. It was not quite as grabby as some thrillers are, but I liked the pacing and execution of the plot. I definitely recommend this book to Lisa Jewell fans and people interested in a dark but not quite as twisty thriller.
