"The only person you can trust is yourself."
Have you ever wondered about a spouse who doesn't participate in the marriage, seems a wee-bit self indulged, seems to have lost his/her wedding ring which was later uncovered neatly tucked away?
Yes, I did wonder the same in my own marriage and I too uncovered the rapidly dissolving disregard of the love I thought we shared and Flora sadly has come to uncover the 'ring' is a much deeper wound to carry.
We all carry the weight of the load on our shoulders but in this case Flora seems to take the back seat to child rearing while her husband's successful career sky rockets into being a new owner of his theatre company aptly named, ''The Good Company.'
Ruby is their teen daughter who is set to graduate high school while all these passionate affairs of the heart enter into reality. Notice the plural form as there's more than one mounting piece of evidence of infidelity in a marriage here and there's also more than one complainant.
When I hear these words, "he f'cked Sydney" well you know it's a bit on the edge of disaster at that point.
I'm not grabbing this ending as it was extremely weak with no solid conclusion other than chopping down of a hemlock tree via Julian so there's that lil tidbit of information for you readers.
However, I was looking for something more substantial, concrete, one with characters that I could indulge and delight upon but this left me longing for more.
It was another of these sleeping around till the break of dawn stories and it's becoming sadly all too redundant when that's the central focus of the entire plot.
Thank you to Cynthia, the publisher Harper Audio, NetGalley, and Amazon Kindle for this ARC in exchange for this honest review.
