![]() Linda thinks this new found fling is just what she needs because it is giving her purpose and is thrilling because it is so out of character. She treats what she thinks may be depression with a relationship (if you can classify it as such) with an old flame, Jacob, who is now a politician and known for his infidelity. Having interviewed a writer who talked about the meaning of life, Linda becomes manic in her efforts to find her own purpose and self-diagnosis. ![]() From the outside looking in, she has everything - she is married to a man who adores her (the "husband" as he's referred to in the whole book), a job where she is respected, money, a fabulous home, yet is not happy and feels that she is in a downward spiral. Was this done on purpose because the main character, Linda, a thirty-something journalist/mother/wife is struggling? Linda is going through her own crisis (albeit self inflicted). However, I think this novel was a bit of a struggle. I'm so torn.I wanted to love the book, I really did!

There didn’t appear to be any sort of order to it, just image upon image piled up for him to enjoy. On the wall by Maxon’s door was a vast collage, wide enough to be wallpaper for my room back home. I inhaled sharply, taking in the beautiful display behind him. It was then, looking past his smiling face, that I saw the pictures. I turned to swat at him, glad to see him in a playful mood. “Maxon, you could fit a football team in there,” I teased. I wanted to go and touch it, to see if it felt as good as it looked. His bed, also made from a dark wood, was massive. Near the doors that opened to his private balcony, a glass case full of guns sat, perfectly lined up. I wondered how many lonely meals he’d had here. He had his own collection of books and a table near the fireplace that looked like it was intended for dining rather than work. His bathroom door was cracked open, and I could see a porcelain tub on the elaborately tiled floor. The whole thing must have been for show since it never seemed to get cold enough here to justify a fire. On the far wall, a wide fireplace stood, waiting to be used. The paneling was dark, some wood I wasn’t familiar with lining the whole space. ![]() ![]() This exceptionally well-written novel is all about suspense, thrill, and drama, including the relationships between generations and what happens between long-standing friends.
