Publisher Description
In this "smart and devious" New York Times bestselling thriller, a marriage counselor's relationship begins to unravel when the mother of her son's classmate is murdered (The New York Times). The inspiration for the HBO series The Undoing, starring Nicole Kidman and Hugh Grant.
Grace Reinhart Sachs is living her best life. Devoted to her husband, a pediatric oncologist at a major cancer hospital, their young son Henry, and the patients she sees in her therapy practice, her days are full of familiar things. Grace is also the author of a book You Should Have Known, in which she cautions women to really hear what men are trying to tell them.
But weeks before the book is published a chasm opens in her own life: a violent death, a missing husband, and, in the place of a man Grace thought she knew, only an ongoing chain of terrible revelations, leading her to dismantle her life in order to create a new one, lest she allow these disasters to destroy her.
Customer Reviews
Needed more oomph!
So good until about 3/4 thru and then it just went down hill. I was so disappointed with whatever happened to Jonathan, no specific reasons for his craziness. I did love Grace and her son though.
I feel robbed of time
To be Truthful, I only got this book because of the show, because I wanted to find out the full story and who was the killer, but my god I did not realize that the show is simply inspired by this book and the show extended to a different kind of story. This book is full of minuscule and dull details and nonsense that stretches out the Novel and leaves lots of unanswered questions. It’s painfully anticlimactic, If I had to go back I’d definitely pass on making this purchase.
On the positive note the fault is all on the author and not the wonderful reader, hearing her read helped the slow pace of this book.
What a waste
The author apparently gets paid by the word. Goes off over and over in unnecessary back stories and details… the book/story doesn’t even get started until around chapter 5? And then went off into unending details of nothing.
I literally skipped several chapters and like a soap opera, missed nothing! For the love of God ‘BRIDGE’ this book…this un~abridged version…was a bridge too far. :-) Finally just listened to the end… the dumbest ending ever.
