THE LIE: Ruby Powell is the epitome of perfect. She’s beautiful, prominent, and wealthy. She lives in her dream home in the most affluent neighborhood in Dallas. She's a doting mother, a devoted wife, and a respected member of her community. She takes pride in serving as the president of both her son’s elementary school PTA and her daughter’s high school soccer Booster Club. Her kids adore her, and her husband is still her best friend after eighteen years of marriage.

THE TRUTH: Ruby Powell is a full-figured, middle-aged housewife, living in a house she’s grown to despise. She’s a subpar mother. She detests her husband. And she’s addicted to anti-anxiety pills due to a recurring nightmare. She volunteers at both of her children’s schools, albeit for appearance’s sake only, because what would it look like if she were a stay-at-home mom who didn’t volunteer? Her teenage daughter loathes her, and her six-year-old son suffers from PTSD due to being the victim of a kidnapping when he was a toddler.

What happens when Ruby is no longer able to separate the truth from the lie?

A nightmare.

An affair.

A dead body.

A lifelong secret.

And the ending you never saw coming.

This is one of the most entertaining books I've read this year. Everytime you think you've heard it all, there's another hook. I love when a standalone novel can get me this invested in the characters.

I really liked the book, but I struggled with the narrator trying (and failing) a “southern” accent, it was absolutely horrible, if you can’t master an accent, don’t even try it! It almost ruined the book for me

Great story
