      Rachel, která vyrůstala bez prostředků a bez blízké rodiny, se vydává vstříc životu, o kterém od dětství snila – vstříc jasné a zářivé vizi ve znamení sňatku s lékařem Tobym, člověkem zvyklým na hmotný dostatek i na síť rodinných pout. První dvě desetiletí jejich soužití jsounaplněny drobnými rodičovskými výhrami i zklamáními, ale taky opakovanými spory s Tobym kvůli naprostým maličkostem v jejich životě – kvůli nimž se ale nikdy nedostanou k tomu, aby se spolu doopravdy zamysleli nad perspektivou jejich života. Rachel žije karikaturu štěstí a bojí se sama sebe zeptat, jak to s jejím štěstím je doopravdy. Přes všechny společenské a hmotné úspěchy si uvědomuje, že vlastně pořád balancuje na hraně a současně má neodbytný pocit, že ji život o něco ochudil, že jí přináší mnohem méně, než na začátku čekala – a že její manželství může skončit katastrofou. Román o páru žijícím v manželství, pod jehož pokličkou to mnoho let doutná, se po vydání dočkal velmi příznivého přijetí: ocitl se na seznamu nejlepších knih napsaných ženami a brzy nato se stal předlohou pro filmovou sérii.

      Dr. Toby Fleishman wakes each day surrounded by self-actualized women who desire him, a stark contrast to his previous life in a troubled marriage. As he embraces newfound independence, his optimism is abruptly shattered when his ex-wife, Rachel, mysteriously disappears. Toby anticipated the challenges of co-parenting and residual bitterness after their split, but he never expected Rachel to drop off their children and vanish without a trace. As he grapples with her sudden absence, Toby juggles his hospital patients, parental responsibilities, and a surprising surge in romantic interest facilitated by dating apps. His narrative as a spurned husband offers little solace as he confronts the reality of his situation. To truly understand Rachel's disappearance and the disintegration of their marriage, Toby must reevaluate his perspective and acknowledge that he may have overlooked crucial truths. This debut novel is a searing, humorous, and electric exploration of modern relationships, delving into the complexities of marriage and the cultural dynamics that shape our understanding of love and commitment. It captures the tension between wariness and optimism that defines contemporary life, making it a compelling read for anyone navigating the intricacies of human connection.
