Jake doesn’t know the half of what Marisa has created-and what she stands to lose. Who is this woman? Why does she seem to know everything about Marisa and Jake? In her quest to find out who Kate really is, Marisa might destroy everything she’s worked so hard to create-her perfect romance, her perfect family, and her perfect self. To make matters worse, Kate’s boundary-pushing turns into an all-out obsession-with Jake, with Marisa, and with their future child. Conceiving a baby is easier said than done, though, and Jake and Marisa’s perfect relationship is put to the test through months of fertility treatments and false starts.
But Marisa doesn’t let it concern her, knowing that soon Kate will be gone, and it will just be her, Jake, and their future baby. Sure, Kate doesn’t seem to care much about personal boundaries and can occasionally seem overly-familiar with Jake. And Kate, their new lodger, is the perfect roommate-and not just because her rent payments will give them the income they need to start trying for the baby of their dreams. “Great, plain and simple” (Stanley Tucci). Parrish comes a twisty psychological suspense about motherhood, obsession, and just how far some will go for the perfect family.
