From the back cover

Alice has built her days around Douglas: she brings him soup during his overtime nights, waits for him, and sends him every small, happy detail of her life. He answers with a single word, yet she counts that as enough.

One night his iPad lights up beside the bed, and the messages are not hers. In a chat with Aurora, Douglas has forwarded her private words and photos for a year and a half, calling her simple-minded, boring, an aesthetic disaster, and admitting he married her only for stability. Alice copies every record, then faces him at breakfast with the first screenshot.

Douglas does not apologise. He demands to know why she snooped, calls her crazy and unreasonable, and offers her a discounted scarf while Aurora received perfume. Alice stops sharing her days with him, and when he asks whether they will simply not live their lives anymore, she answers that they will not.

Inside the book Opening excerpt

Douglas had just stepped into the bathroom when his iPad lit up on the bedside table. A SnapChat notification popped up.

Aurora: What mushy message did she send you today? Forward it, I’m waiting for a laugh.

I reached out and tapped SnapChat. The pinned chat wasn’t mine, it was Aurora’s.

At the top of the chat window was a screenshot of the message I’d sent Douglas that afternoon.

Me: A kid at the kindergarten told me I have a pretty smile today, and my first thought was to tell you.

Below it was Douglas’s added comment when he forwarded it to Aurora.
