An effortless page-turner, almost a movie treatment more than a
novel...intelligent commercial fiction.--The Wall Street Journal
After five years of marriage, Cass Coyne has lost some of her boundless
confidence. Her husband sees their ups and downs as normal challenges in
a healthy relationship, but Cass lies awake at night wondering what you
do when you need a break from your marriage?
It comes as a shock to Jonathan when Cass persuades him to try a marital
intermission: a six-month separation during which they'll decide if the
comfortable life they've built together is still the one they both want.
Six months apart from their beloved dog is a different story, so they
agree to meet once a month for a custody exchange. Time apart on
opposite coasts makes the Coynes realize their problems may lie deeper
than sweaty gym socks left on the bed and an empty container of milk put
back in the fridge.
Can a marriage experiment go too far for two people who once thought
they had it all figured out?
