"golden couple"

“aha!” moments! Hendricks and Pekkanen
combine their respective careers as book
editor and best-selling novelist to produce a

husband who’s too good to be true; the
awestruck young wife blinded by her fairy-

the new wife. The
write-up for this

off-balance. What seems to be a
somewhat unlikeable protagonist/
narrator morphs into someone you
begin to understand. Not everything
she has said and done was reckless
