From the back cover

For her birthday, Guillermo gives his wife Olivia shoes in the wrong size. It is the last small thing she can forgive: forgotten anniversaries, a lost wedding ring, and a dinner with his college crush while she was in surgery. She asks for a divorce, but he treats it as another empty threat until she places a signed separation agreement before him.

After seven years of marriage, Guillermo has become a celebrated tech wunderkind, and Olivia has learned to accept his distance. Then a minor nasal surgery leaves her alone in the hospital; he promises to be there, yet never comes, and she wakes to flowers from his assistant and news that he flew to London. A doctor from her past, Ethan Cole, finds her crying and treats her with a gentleness she no longer expects.

Days later, a starlet named Alana posts a photo of a dinner with her old college mentor, and the ring on the man's hand points to Guillermo. The scandal spreads, he offers no explanation, and when he finally returns home, his ring finger is bare. Olivia has to decide how much of this she is still willing to call a small thing.

“Forgetting our anniversary is also a small thing.”
