Probably the best of Ms.Brown’s early novels. The couple here highlight why communication is so important. Without it, you can jump to all the most horrific conclusions.
There was a certain amount of brilliance in the entire book taking place over the course of 12 hours ala Arsenic and Old Lace. Ms. Brown did a good job of building up the story through flashbacks and increasingly vulnerable conversations.
A marriage is where we see the best and worst of our spouses. It’s where insecurities can be soothed or created. I liked that the characters could acknowledge their pettiness and flaws in pursuit of their marriage. The humor was great too.

At first I wasn't liking the book. Wasnt to thrilled with some of the book. However the ending was the best part. Even though I knew it was going to happen early on in the book.
