DESCRIPTION:
After a disturbing email sparks Waite's suspicion that her husband is having an affair, she tries to uncover the truth and rebuild trust in her marriage. With a dual time line narrative structure, we see Waite's romance bud, bloom, and wither simultaneously, making the heartbreak and disbelief even more affecting.. In a raw, first-person account, Waite recounts each heartbreaking discovery, every life-destroying lie, and reveals what happens once the dust finally settles on her demolished marriage. What do you do when you discover that the person you've built your life around never existed? When "it could never happen to me" does happen to you? These are the questions facing Jen Waite when she begins to realize that her loving husband - the father of her infant daughter, her best friend, the love of her life - fits the textbook definition of psychopath. Instead she finds more lies, infidelity, and betrayal than she could have imagined. Waite obsessively analyzes her relationship, trying to find a single moment from the last five years that isn't part of the long con of lies and manipulation
CGE said make sure you are available the day you start this bookbecause you will not be able to put it down!. I read this book in one day! I simply could not put it down -could not turn away from the story. As the details unfolded my eyes just widened in shock and awe at Jens emotional roller coaster and then incredible strength (and to her amazing parents!)the descriptive writing made me feel i was right there along with her, sharing her anger as she made one shocking discovery after another. It was also fascinating to read and learn about men like this because there are more out there than we can imagine! So happy to see a strong w. Brave, honest; a must read. Ms. Waite bravely shares her truthful story of discovering that her soulmate is not what he seemsjust as their newborn has come into the world.I read this book in two days- 35 weeks pregnant working full time with a toddler at homeI couldn't put it down. As someone who was also previously married to someone who may be labeled a sociopath, it was incredible to hear the similarities of the truths uncovered I the aftermath. I applaud and thank the author for her honesty.. Having spent 5 years of my life with someone exactly like Marco and going through major ups and downs I don't think I've ever related to a no as much as this one! Having spent 5 years of my life with someone exactly like Marco and going through major ups and downs! This book was an honest roller coaster account of an emotionally abusive relationship! I have to admit a part of me when I got to the end wondered was Jen able to completely cut off contact! It's a great read! I hope she has moved on and found someone better or at least being a happy and positive role model for Lulu!!!
