This was an interesting read. It is a book that follows Merit, a mother who is a little bit lost in life and is going back into the work place, and Jane, her captivating new boss.

In the first half of the novel, I found Merit to be annoying. She was not in the best place with her husband, but it was frustrating to read about it. She never actually communicated with her husband about anything, but then would get mad at him all the time. Reading through it, you could tell that Merit was unsatisfied with her life (and motherhood) and was looking for a change. 

Enter Jane. Their relationship was unique from the start and was very codependent right from the beginning. The second half of the book was focused on Jane and Merit's affair. I definitely understood Merit's struggle, and I thought the author did a great job showing that. I was not surprised at the ending, I just wish we could have seen how that came to be.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing an ARC for an honest review.
