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 … 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?

stupid writing
Perfect, as always
interesting story
I thought it started to drag about mid book. I had to force myself to finish it. It was ok, but nothing outstanding that I could see.
Good author, not good story
Wasn’t as good as others I have read by her
You can always count on Jodi Piccolt to tell a great story!
Like all of her books, the topic is very contemporary and she presents so you think about the issue long after you’ve finished reading the book.
Anything she writes is great! I am a fan…
Bit unfinished, left a few threads untied
great read. I couldn’t put it down all weekend
Interesting to learn a bit about anthropology.
Not one of Judi Piccoult’s better books.
This story was scary in a real-life sort of way because relationships like this are all too common.
I think I’ve only read her book, My Sister’s Keeper. I enjoyed her writing in that book and the story, but I didn’t enjoy this book very much.
It was hard to find adjectives to describe this book, other than easy-to-read. Not Piccault’s best. It was predictable and not particularly well written.
A bit disappointed. The story was somewhat convoluted and confusing. It went on and on and then ended leaving much more that could and should have been written. This wasn’t one of her better books.
Eye opening.
Very thought-provoking, as most Jodi Picoult novels are. Tough to decide who you are rooting for. A great read when you need something more serious.
One of my favorite authors
