About this item
"Ada Calhoun writes with absolute clarity about the giddiest and most destabilizing feeling - the crush. This novel made me feel dizzy and I loved every second. Calhoun can seduce me any day of the week." - Emma Straub, New York Times bestselling author of This Time Tomorrow. When a husband asks his wife to consider what might be missing from their marriage, what follows surprises them both - sex, heartbreak and heart rekindling, and a rediscovered sense of all that is possible. She's happy and settled and productive and content in her full life - a child, a career, an admirable marriage, deep friendships, happy parents, and a spouse she still loves. But when her husband urges her to address what the narrow labels of "husband" and "wife" force them to edit out of their lives, the very best kind of hell breaks loose.
