carpe librum 

 seize the book!  What a great thought.

Welcome book lovers 



i'm trying something different week and rather than an "scoop" on something book related - i'm giving "shout out"


today's "shout out" goes to 





Dr. Robert Hart, Sag Harbor’s just-named Man of the Year, is the envy of his friends and neighbors. His medical practice is thriving. He has a beautiful old house and a beautiful new wife and a beautiful boat docked in the village marina. Even his wayward son, Jonah, is back on track, doing well at school, finally worthy of his father’s attentions. So when Jonah’s troubled college roommate, Nick, needs a place to stay for the summer, Hart and his wife generously offer him their guest house. A win-win: Jonah will have someone to hang with, and his father can bask in the warm glow of his own generosity.

But when he begins to notice his new houseguest getting a little too close to his wife, the good doctor’s veneer begins to crack. All the little lies Robert tells—harmless falsehoods meant to protect everything he holds dear—begin to mount. Before long, he’s embroiled in a desperate downward spiral, destroying the lives that stand in his way. It’s only the women in his life—his devoted office manager, his friends, his wife—who can clearly see the truth.




this book is a wicked juicy little gem of a novel that somehow surpasses the label of thriller/mystery/suspense novel

oh don't get me wrong - it is plenty that and plenty more

think lifetime movie /soap opera  and i say that with affection because this book is so freaking good

so good i couldn't put it down

the flawed characters (boy are they ever!) are engaging and realistically drawn and to say more about this book might give things away  - just trust me when i say you need this book! (it drops june 11 so you don't need to wait long!)
