​Joss and Phil’s already rocky marriage is fragmented when Phil is injured in a devastating fire and diagnosed with Capgras delusion―a misidentification syndrome in which a person becomes convinced that a loved one has been replaced by an identical imposter. Faced with a husband who no longer recognizes her, Joss struggles to find motivation to save their marriage, even as family secrets start to emerge that challenge everything she thought she knew.
With two young daughters, a looming book deadline, and an attractive but complicated distraction named Adam complicating her situation even further, Joss has to decide what she wants for her family―and what family even means.
First of all I would like to apologize for the delay in this post. I'm not sure what happened I must have only saved half of the post when I was dropping and dragging. 
First of al I want to say I loved it. I occasionally have a hard time when I am reading and the book jumps POV but I must have been in the right mood as it didn't bother me a bit. This is a very character driven story line and you really get a feel for the authors background as a counselor as the characters have many layers to their personality and I found it very interesting to see how my opinion of them changed and developed through reading others interactions with them.  If your looking for a Hallmark story with a happy ending this book is not for you, This is a story of a family in crisis and how they are dealing or not dealing with the situation they have found themselves in. If your looking for that white knight you will not find it here.

This isn't my usual go to read and it was a bit out of my element but I'm glad I gave it a go.
I gave this a 4 out of 5 star

    Reviewers : Kathy & Di

    Kathy :I love to read. I learned to read at a really early age and was never without something to read growing up.  Reading is a cheap easy vacation, when you can become so engrossed in what you are reading that you can see, smell, hear and taste everything in your minds eye.  I'm just a ordinary girl living life one page at a time.

    Di : I love all books with memorable characters, exciting adventures and real life tales. Reading is something that is a sensory experience for me. I can see, hear, taste and smell the adventure unfolding before me as if I were actually there. I come from a very long line of family readers and must have caught the reading bug from them. I rarely leave the house without a book in case I find myself with a spare few minutes to stick my nose into a story.
