A GOOD MORNING AMERICA BOOK CLUB PICK

Who hasn’t wanted to murder an ex—figuratively, at least? In this explosive debut thriller, a woman’s seemingly perfect romantic life is on the verge of collapse as she uncovers a hidden history surfacing dark secrets that have deadly consequences.

Natalie has only ever wanted to find “the one.” The perfect man, the happy family she never had. But each time she thinks she is finally getting somewhere, she’s bitterly disappointed. Another red line through a list of exes. And that was before the night of the Big Fallout that left her even more alone.

Then along comes James—wonderful, handsome James—and Natalie thinks her luck has finally turned. Maybe he’s the one for her. Maybe he’s the one she’s been waiting for all along. Maybe he won’t wind up dead.

But the harder Natalie tries to be a “normal” wife, the more world-upending truths are brought to her door, leaving her unsure of who she really is, and much less what she’ll do . . . leaving her to question whether there is a monster within her or whether there is a villain toying with her from the outside.

What’s the secret story behind Natalie’s dead exes? Will she and James survive their marriage? And do either of them deserve to? Genre Fiction Literary Fiction Psychological Suspense Thriller & Suspense Women's Fiction Marriage

Dear Listener,

What inspired me to write my debut novel?
"I love the gripping twistiness of thrillers like The Housemaid and The Silent Patient, which are my specialty as an editor. But I’m also obsessed with compelling book-club fiction with something to say, like Such a Fun Age. On top of that, I’m a huge romance fan, but I keep seeing so many horror stories of real-life romances gone wrong. With The Exes, I was excited to write the kind of page-turner I love to publish while exploring themes personal to me, like healing generational trauma and the dangers romantic relationships can hide."– Leodora Darlington, author of The Exes
