In the introduction by Williams (The Wife Before, The Perfect Ruin<\/em>), readers are forewarned, that child abuse and sexual assault feature in this novel; they should still be prepared for whiplash when this turns from a \u201cgirl\u2019s night in\u201d kind of story to something much, much darker. Black couple Adira and Gabriel are living the high life\u2014at first appearance. Adira\u2019s an entrepreneur, the successful owner of a luxury clothing brand, Lovely Silk. Gabriel isn\u2019t as successful\u2014Adira\u2019s keeping them afloat\u2014but she doesn\u2019t mind. She\u2019s crazy about her husband and is shattered to see an email pop up on his phone that makes it clear he\u2019s seeing another woman, Jocelyn. Actually, make that two women, Jocelyn and Julianna, with the former woman, when confronted by Adira, offering to join ranks with the wronged wife to make Gabriel pay. Thus starts the darkness, with stalking, lies, and desperation taking turns with another story, of two little girls, one of whom is being sexually abused by her mother\u2019s boyfriend. Williams ramps up the tension and the mystery from the first page so that as the stories converge and a terrible truth is revealed, readers will be both enthralled and aghast<\/strong>. One for all those who\u2019ve done what they had to do and lived to tell the tale.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
