Summary (From the Publisher)
Wealthy Washington suburbanites Marissa and Matthew Bishop seem to have it all―until Marissa is unfaithful. Beneath their veneer of perfection is a relationship riven by work and a lack of intimacy. She wants to repair things for the sake of their eight-year-old son and because she loves her husband. Enter Avery Chambers.
Avery is a therapist who lost her professional license. Still, it doesn’t stop her from counseling those in crisis, though they have to adhere to her unorthodox methods. And the Bishops are desperate.
When they glide through Avery’s door, and Marissa reveals her infidelity, all three are set on a collision course. Because the biggest secrets in the room are still hidden, and it’s no longer simply a marriage that’s in danger.
My Thoughts
I will read anything Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen write. The Golden Couple was no exception, and when I was allowed to review their new novel early, I jumped at the chance.
While the plot moved along more slowly than I usually like, The Golden Couple kept my interest throughout. I found myself drawn to the female characters and rooting for them every step of the way.
As for the plot twists and big reveal, I didn’t see them coming. The big reveal surprised me in a big way!
If you are looking for a literary piece of fiction, this is not the novel for you. The Golden Couple is simplistic in writing style and word choice, making the story easy to consume and binge read.
At the end of the day, I’ll rate The Golden Couple four stars. I was able to access both the print hardcover version and the audiobook. If you are a fan of audiobooks, the narrators Karissa Vacker and Marin Ireland do a fantastic job!
