From the New York Times bestselling author of Ghosted comes a love story wrapped in a mystery: an up-all-night page-turner with a dark secret at its core
I have held you at night for ten years and I didn't even know your name. We have a child together. A dog, a house.
Who are you?
Emma loves her husband Leo and their young daughter Ruby: she’d do anything for them. But almost everything she's told them about herself is a lie.
And she might just have got away with it, if it weren’t for her husband’s job. Leo is an obituary writer; Emma a well-known marine biologist. When she suffers a serious illness, Leo copes by doing what he knows best – researching and writing about his wife’s life. But as he starts to unravel the truth, he discovers the woman he loves doesn’t really exist. Even her name isn’t real.
When the very darkest moments of Emma’s past finally emerge, she must somehow prove to Leo that she really is the woman he always thought she was . . .
But first, she must tell him about the other love of her life.

挺能吊胃口的,但是此愛非彼愛。所以反轉並不是很大。

非常沉重的两个话题:产后忧郁症和单亲生子收养的问题。心理描写让人非常有代入感,特别是那些无助、绝望的时刻。再一次深切体会到,女性需要更多的心理、物质双层面的社会支援。

前半部悬念营造得不错但是后面变得比较故弄玄虚拖拖拉拉,虽然讲故事的技巧不错,故事本身却过于简单撑不起这个篇幅。产后抑郁和收养小孩这两个支柱也都仅仅作为背景存在,探讨并不是太深入。
