About this listen

 A perfect husband

To their friends, Lily and Freddy have a great marriage. He taught her to love again after the death of her first husband. But when Freddy becomes tense and distracted, a life-changing truth is revealed.

A terrible shock

Freddy has built up massive gambling debts that threaten to destroy not only his life but Lily's as well.

Should she go forward - or back?

Her friends and family urge her to forget him and move on - easier said than done. Is her willingness to give him a second chance just down to loyalty? Or is the truth something altogether darker?

It’s always enjoyable as a 50 something reader/listener to find a good book where the central characters are of your own generation. Hilary Boyd gives us that here. Good character development. Lily is a bit pathetic most of the time, but her backstory makes it clear that she has simply never learned to stand on her own feet, and why that it. The story goes along a decent pace. Recommended.

Good stuff!
