The story is told from the husband’s perspective, Lauren his wife of 6 years is a few years younger than him in her late 20’s. They appear happily married although we find that she cheated on him with one of his best friends some time ago.
A Facebook message changes their relationship for ever. It was from her first platonic boyfriend Matthew from junior years, who she hasn’t seen since she married, His hard luck story about his failing marriage, leads to social/counselling meetings with Lauren. These meetings make Lauren feel that she married too early and there is a yearning in her to be slutty.
Although she confesses stepping a little over the line with Matthew, the husband is still suspicious, angry and also unable to ignore that he is turned on by her possible cheating.
This is the shortest and probably by no coincidence the weakest of the 8 Paul Garland’s Cerulean and No Angel series of novels I have read to date. I would however strongly recommend reading both series.
