Eminente psichiatra di New York cerca donne tra i 18 e i 32 anni per uno studio su etica e morale, offrendo un compenso generoso e garantendo anonimato. Jessica Farris, una make-up artist squattrinata, decide di partecipare, attratta principalmente dal compenso e dalla novità. La sua vita si svolge tra corse a Manhattan e tranquille serate con il suo cane, ma quando entra nell'aula 214, una stanza asettica con un computer acceso che la accoglie come "Soggetto 52", inizia a dubitare della sua scelta. La richiesta di sincerità assoluta la mette alla prova: si sente in colpa per le bugie? Ha mai ferito qualcuno a cui tiene? Le domande del misterioso dr. Shields diventano sempre più personali e inquietanti, rivelando ciò che Jessica nasconde. Quando le chiederà di passare dall'aula 214 al mondo reale, sarà troppo tardi per ritirarsi. Jessica è la candidata perfetta per il piano del dr. Shields, ma, intrappolata in una rete di lusinghe e ossessioni, scoprirà che anche un'altra donna ha subito la stessa sorte prima di lei.

Lindsey e Alex, sorelle gemelle. Stesso giorno di nascita, stessi geni, eppure non potrebbero essere più diverse. Fin da piccola, Lindsey ha sempre dovuto lottare per non essere l'eterna seconda. Ecco perché, a ventinove anni, quando, dopo aver dedicato la vita al lavoro e alla carriera, sta finalmente per ottenere un'importante promozione, crede di avercela fatta. Ma in una notte devastante, complice un colpo basso di una collega e troppo champagne, il sogno va in pezzi. Lasciata alle spalle la scintillante Manhattan, fa ritorno a casa, nel Maryland, dove però l'attende un'amara sorpresa: Alex, infatti, non solo sta per sposare Mr. Perfezione, ma flirta spudoratamente con l'amico d'infanzia di Lindsey, l'unico che l'ha sempre preferita all'affascinante sorella. E come se il mondo le crollasse addosso per la seconda volta in pochi giorni; ma un nuovo lavoro e un incontro inaspettato permetteranno a Lindsey di ricostruire il rapporto con Alex e di scoprire un lato di se stessa che non avrebbe mai osato immaginare. E che le permetterà di prendersi qualche rivincita.

The Golden Couple is a psychological thriller that will keep you guessing to the very end - from Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen, the authors of the top ten bestseller The Wife Between Us. 'Utterly compelling' - Lisa Jewell, author of None of This is True Marissa and Mathew Bishop seem like the golden couple - until Marissa cheats. She wants to repair things, both because she loves her husband and for the sake of their eight-year-old son. After a friend forwards an article about Avery, Marissa takes a chance on this maverick therapist who lost her licence due to her controversial methods. If Avery Chambers can't fix you in ten sessions, she won't take you on as a client. She helps people overcome everything, from anxiety to domineering parents. Her successes almost help her absorb the emptiness she feels since her husband's death. When the Bishops glide through Avery's door, all three are immediately 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. 'It grabbed me from the first page and didn't let go' - Taylor Jenkins Reid, author of Daisy Jones and The Six and The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo

"Josie and Frank Moore are happy ... at least Josie thinks they are. As parents of two young girls in the Chicago suburbs, their days can be both busy and monotonous, and sometimes Josie wonders how she became a harried fortysomething mother rather than the driven career woman she once was. But Frank is a phenomenal father, he's handsome and charismatic, and he still looks at his wife like she's the beautiful woman he married more than a decade ago. Josie isn't just happy--she's lucky. Until one Saturday morning when Josie borrows her husband's phone to make a quick call--and sees nine words that shatter her world. Now Josie feels as if she is standing at the edge of a sharp precipice. As she looks back at pivotal moments in the relationship she believed would last forever, she is also plunging ahead, surprising everyone (especially herself) with how far she will go to uncover the extent of her husband's devastating secret. With her "conversational writing style and a knack for making readers care about her characters" (The Washington Post) bestselling author Sarah Pekkanen paints a vivid, kaleidoscopic portrait of a marriage before and during a crisis--and of a woman who fears that the biggest secret of all may be the one she's hiding from herself"--
