A perfect stranger wants her perfect life.
Grace Chapman has the perfect life, living comfortably with her husband, bestselling author Ted, in a picture-perfect farmhouse on the Hudson River in New York State.
Then Ted advertises for a new assistant, and Beth walks into their lives. Organized, passionate and eager to learn, Beth quickly makes herself indispensable to Ted and his family. But Grace soon begins to feel side-lined in her home - and her marriage - by this ambitious younger woman.
Is Grace just paranoid, as her husband tells her, or is there more to Beth than first thought?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Green (Tempting Fate) woos readers with her latest offering, a memorable novel probing the flimsy fa ade of one woman's seemingly perfect life. Grace and Ted Chapman have an idyllic life: he is a well-known author, and she is his adoring wife. When their assistant, Ellen, leaves her job, Grace is desperate to find someone who can take Ellen's place and can adjust to Ted's ever-changing moods. Grace hires Beth, who proves to be an excellent employee, anticipating Ted's needs and assisting Grace as well. But there are oddities in Beth's behavior that Grace can't explain. And when Grace begins to see a psychiatrist who prescribes a host of potent medications, she hardly recognizes herself anymore, either emotionally or physically. As Grace's life threatens to completely spiral out of control, she must take stock of what is most important to her and discover how to find true happiness. Green has imbued her story with realistic, imperfect characters. The lure of the novel lies in Green's ability to create a consistenly evolving story that entices from the very first page. First printing: 125,000 copies.
Customer Reviews
Enoyable
I have been Jane Green reader for many years and have read all of her novels. Initially I found this story difficult to get into, however by the fifth chapter I was once again griped. This book is different to her other chick lits but just as enjoyable. Read it cover to cover in 4 hours.
A good read
A fantastic gripping story, quite dark in tone and a real page turner. Was turning into one of my favourites of her books. However, was disappointed with the ending and felt like she missed a trick. Won’t spoil it by saying how!
Brilliant
Another brilliant read from Jane Green, definitely recommend 😊
