The Literate Kitty

Anyone who’s been in a relationship (so, the majority of people who’ve reached adulthood, however that’s defined these days) knows that there’s a fair bit of effort involved in keeping things on an even( -ish ) keel.   Another thing those with a relationship or two under their belts know is that things often look rather different to anyone not in that relationship (so, everyone else ). But what happens when someone outside knows just enough of the hidden bits and pieces—the secrets or lies, the silences or tears... the stuff that isn't all "happy families"  on display—to affect what happens next, in the relationship? When that someone purposefully manipulates things, for an outcome only he or she wants? Writing duo Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen follow up their previous psychological thrillers (among them, The Wife Between Us , reviewed here , and You Are Not Alone , reviewed here ) with a look at that scenario in their upcoming work, The Golden Couple . ____
