Anya and Greg seem to be the golden couple, until dark secrets come to light and unleash inevitable devastation in this slow-burn he said/she said psychological suspense novel.

Greg has his life all planned out: become a doctor, buy a house, and have a wife and children - and when he meets Anya during his post-doc studies in Boston, all of his dreams seem to come true. It's love at first sight, and Greg doesn't shy away from changing his life to provide Anya, his beautiful butterfly, with everything she wants and needs.

Anya is a struggling artist, determined to make it as a painter in Boston's art scene - but getting involved with shy and sweet Greg could thwart her lifelong ambition. Their relationship unfolds like a classic love story . . . except that Anya seems to be hiding something that unsuspecting Greg soon must face.

Are Greg and Anya truly the perfect couple, or will jealousy, uncertainty, and dangerous machinations break them apart in the most dreadful way imaginable?

Megan Abbott meets Paula Hawkins's The Girl on the Train mixed with Patricia Highsmith creepiness that will make you turn the pages! A novel "darkly inventive and full of grit" (NYT bestselling author Caroline Leavitt).
