What happens when you think you know the person you love–and you’re dead wrong?
From the acclaimed author of Waiting to Surface comes the story of four college friends whose reunion reawakens old desires and grudges with fatal results.
After tossing and turning all night, thirty-nine-year old Lisa Barkley wakes up well before her alarm sounds. With two daughters about to start another year at their elite upper East Side private school and her own career hitting a wall, the effort of trying to stay afloat in that privileged world of six-story town houses and European jaunts has become increasingly difficult, especially as Manhattan descends into an economic freefall.
As Lisa looks over at her sleeping husband, Sam, she can;t help but feel that their fifteen-tear marriage is in a funk that she isn’t able to place. She tries to shake it off and tells herself that she strain must be due to their mounting financial pressures. But later that morning, as her family eats breakfast in the next room, Lisa finds herself checking Sam’s voicemail and hears a whispered phone call from a woman he is to meet that night. Is he heaving an affair?
