This author always sneaks up on me and I love her writing. Give me all the moody midcentury marital drama. I love an idea that women were just as alive as men at the time. The fact that she was stepford in appearance and homemaking, in reality she is is just as trash as men. I loved it. The ending two chapters were great, I love the imagery of the pool and her skin, the way her husband was so manic, the outliers in the cast were so crucial.
