Avery Chambers, a psychologist, lost her license because of her unorthodox approach to therapy. Still, she believes in her ten meetings approach and has been successful even attracting attention from the media.
Marissa Bishop has heard of Avery’s success and believes she can help her in reclaiming her marriage to Matthew. She cheated on Matthew. Of course, there’s more to the background, but that’s where the couple start. The problem for Avery is that for her methods to work she needs complete honesty, and she discovers that both Bishops are hiding things.
This was a fun read. The plot line is unusual and engrossing. There are plenty of twists to keep the pace lively and the characters are interesting. I started by not liking Avery very much, but as the story moved on, I saw why she trusted her methods and came to understand what she was doing. Marissa was a character I could relate to. I felt from the beginning that she loved her husband and wanted to work on her marriage. Matthew was more difficult. He was obviously upset by Marissa’s infidelity, but he didn’t seem as committed to putting things right as she did.
This is a good escapist book that’s enjoyable to read.
I received this book from St. Martin’s Press for this review.
