A quick read that will have you intrigued from the start.  I’m not a fan of going back and forth in time, but I did stay with it to see what would happen in the end.  I didn’t put it down once I started it, but I would have liked a little more at the ending.

Grace Harrington meets and marries Jack Angel … and to the world, they lead the perfect life.  A gorgeous, successful man with his charming, accomplished wife.

They never stop to look at the facts … Grace is never seen without Jack by her side.  She cooks brilliantly, yet is slimmer every time they see her.  She doesn’t work, has no kids taking up her time, yet can’t manage to meet for lunch.

Is it really the perfect marriage?  Or the perfect lie?
