From the back cover

For a decade, Jasper Swanson believed his marriage to Lydia Cooper was built on a shared choice: a childless life, just the two of them. Then, on New Year's Eve, he overhears her murmuring "Mommy will visit you" into her phone, and a casual tease draws a lie he can read in her face.

That night he unlocks a hidden chat titled Lindsey's Growth Diary, filled with five years of photos and captions: birthdays, a parent-teacher conference, a newborn's feet. He follows Lydia the next morning to a house where a little girl calls him a stranger and Simon Young, his old university roommate, answers the door. Lydia begs to explain; at home she blames Simon, then her own flesh and blood, then Jasper himself.

Jasper walks out and makes one call, asking that Lydia lose everything. The next day Simon storms his office with Lindsey in tow, demanding an explanation before an audience of colleagues.

I can feel my blood running cold in my veins as I stand in the living room with a glass of water.
