When pitched this book to read, I was immediately sucked in by the perfect blurp of the book, but I had no idea it would take such a dramatic turn until it was right in front of me. Let's back up first - we start the story with Celeste who is a mom and is moving out of her home while her husband is in rehab. The reader quickly finds out that he is abusive and still fighting some major demons. Then we meet Jake who is the non-committer and is accidentally swept into Celeste's drama.
