Nora Trimble Hammond was living the perfect life. When a relationship between her husband and her best friend comes out into the open that illusion of perfection becomes the nightmare of trying to hold together a family that is slowly disintegrating. As if that isn't enough, a spectre from her past shows up at the same time reminding Nora of a week long interlude from her teens that she would just as soon not recall. Overall the story was a good one but I found the “voice” of the book annoyingly whiny, which distracted me from the story. A good read for the most part but found a few of the details confusing and the characters uninteresting (except for Eddie Hawkins). The protagonist, Nora, lacked in depth, which made her seem cold at times, a heroine hard to cheer on. I did find myself hooked, though, I suppose if anything, to clear up some of the confusion. The secrets weren’t hard to figure but the ending was totally unexpected.
