First thing to note about this novel is the title has an additional subtitle, “How I Married a Lying Psychopathic Wannabe-Murderer and Kinda Lived to Tell“. Imagine thinking you had the ideal life. The perfect partner, on whom you relied and trusted. An infant child, newly adopted. Then one day, quite suddenly, the life you’ve led is turned upside down. Everything thought true becomes suspect. And you learn, quite quickly, that you can never again trust the person sleeping beside you. Like the wash of the waves, crashing onto the beach, you never know if the tumult will bring glittering riches, highlighted by the sun, or dark, murky residue of questionable origin.
