Synopsis
‘I’m perfectly happy lying to myself…If it means getting to stay with you.’
Jasper is ready to surprise his brother; Holly is ready to celebrate their engagement.
Anne tags along for fear of missing out, and John might just be going for another drink.
But Edmund and Ovidia had other plans for their Saturday.
Over the course of one day, these couples must own up to the secrets they’ve been hiding from one another and the lies they’ve been telling themselves. And face the devastating consequences.
Three couples. Two exes. One day. One reckoning.
In her debut novel, Agatha Zaza crafts a modern domestic tragedy simmering with betrayal and deceit.
My Review
I found this book a little confusing and wished that the characters of Holly, Anne and John had been developed more.
The book is centred around a Saturday where Jasper is keen to show off his new fiance Holly to his brother Edmund. However secrets abound and so much comes out. With domestic violence, cheating, a secret child and so much more to contemplate, this was an interesting read but I felt it got a little too confusing at times and often was really slow to read and at other times raced along.
An interesting read but I just wish the characters had been fleshed out a little more.
I gave this book 3 out of 5 stars.
