<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>When a middle-aged woman's husband is diagnosed with a life-threatening illness, their secret lives collide head-on, revealing a tangled web of sex, lies, and DNA and forcing her to decide whose life to save--her husband's or her own.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>"Taylor's dialogue is snappy and contemporary . . . A witty and often amusing family drama."--<i>Kirkus Reviews</i></b> <p/>Kassie O'Callaghan's meticulous plans to divorce her emotionally abusive husband, Mike, and move in with Chris, a younger man she met five years ago on a solo vacation in Venice, are disrupted when she finds out Mike has chronic kidney disease--something he's concealed from her for years. Once again, she postpones her path to freedom--at least, until she pokes around his pajama drawer and discovers his illness is the least of his deceits. <p/>But Kassie is no angel, either. As she struggles to justify her own indiscretions, the secret lives she and Mike have led collide head-on, revealing a tangled web of sex, lies, and DNA. Still, mindful of her vows, Kassie commits to helping her husband find an organ donor. In the process, she uncovers a life-changing secret. Problem is, if she reveals it, her own immorality will be exposed, which means she has an impossible decision to make: Whose life will she save--her husband's or her own?<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>2021 Firebird Book Awards Winner in Romantic Comedy <p/>2021 Firebird Book Awards Winner in Chick Lit <p/>2021 Firebird Book Awards Winner in Contemporary Novel <p/>2021 Firebird Book Awards Winner in Marriage<br>2021 Literary Titan Book Awards Silver Winner<br>2021 Best Book Awards Finalist in Fiction: Literary<br>2021 Best Book Awards Finalist in Fiction: Women's Fiction<br>2021 American Fiction Awards Finalist in Women's Fiction<br>2021 International Book Awards Finalist in Fiction: Women's Fiction<br>2020 Canadian Book Club Awards Finalist in Fiction<br>Chosen as an August 2021 Pulpwood Queens Book Club selection<br>Featured by the international NoMo Book Club in May 2021</b> <p/>"Taylor's dialogue is snappy and contemporary . . .
