About this ebook
The #1 New York Times bestselling author of My Sister's Keeper examines the fault lines of a troubled marriage in this “unfailingly intelligent…undeniably literary psychological drama”(Booklist).
To the outside world, they seem to have it all. Cassie Barrett, a renowned anthropologist, and Alex Rivers, one of Hollywood's hottest actors, met on the set of a motion picture in Africa. They shared childhood tales, toasted the future, and declared their love in a fairy-tale wedding. But when they return to California, something alters the picture of their perfect marriage. A frightening pattern is taking shape—a cycle of hurt, denial, and promises, thinly veiled by glamour. Torn between fear and something that resembles love, Cassie wrestles with questions she never dreamed she would face: How can she leave? Then again, how can she stay?

Loved this book. It showed love and trust in a different way. I personaly loved the ending. It showed how becoming a mother can change everything in one's life. I truely believe she would not have left him had her child not been born. I think this is a light for all those women out there who stay in abusive relationships. Get out not for you but for your children. Beautiful book. Wonderful author.

I enjoyed this book but not as much as others. she did a great job describing both sides of the victim and the abuser. I felt that the book dragged at times. also, I was hoping Will had a better shot at the end. not her worst book but also not my favorite by Jodi.
