Lovering, a master of manipulation to rival her own characters, does a skillful job of gradually unspooling her intricate tapestry of psychological intrigue while deftly juggling her multiple narratives. Perfect-for-Skye already has a wife, a startling fact we learn within the early pages of the book a former toxic boyfriend of Skye’s keeps emailing her creepy and threatening messages and a decades-earlier narrative by Heather, Burke’s wife, confounds the dizzying plotline even further. But there are multiple clamoring voices in this chilling narrative that suggest all may not be well: We read Burke's diary entries, written at the behest of his marriage counselor-yup, Mr.
So when Skye meets the incredibly handsome Burke Michaels beachside at Montauk, the stage is seemingly set for a fairy-tale love story: Within six months they are engaged-much to the consternation of Skye’s BFF, Andie-and Skye is over the moon. Still, her struggles with OCD have been a romantic-relationship deal breaker in the past. Skye Starling appears to have it all-an enviable Manhattan apartment, a cool and successful book-editing job, and a pleasantly girly group of longtime friends. The second novel from Lovering more than lives up to the promise of her debut, Tell Me Lies (2018).
