Such a quiet and ordinary wife and mother. Who will even notice what she' s done? Lillian Smith leads an unexceptional life, writing obituaries and killing time with her inattentive husband and disconnected son. Then she meets David, a handsome stranger, in a coffee shop. Lured into an affair, she invents a new persona, one without strings, deadlines, or brooding husbands. Lillian has never felt so reckless, unpredictable, or wanted. But as her affair with David intensifies, she withdraws from everything that' s real, even her closest friend. When evidence of her life as a secret lover finds its way onto her son' s social media, she risks ruining much more than her marriage or reputation. As lies beget lies, Lillian' s two worlds spiral dangerously out of control. And betrayals run deeper than she imagines. Because Lillian isn' t the only one leading a double life.
