From the back cover
Every wedding anniversary, Lena and her childhood best friend Toby stage an elaborate prank on her husband, Sean, roping in their friends to see how long he lasts before breaking. Three years ago she confessed she regretted marrying him; two years ago Toby slipped fake divorce papers under his pillow; last year they staged a mock wedding with Sean at the altar. This year, Toby presents a sonogram and claims Lena is pregnant with his child. Lena offers no denial, and the table waits for Sean to shatter.
Instead, Sean slips off his wedding band and says he is sitting this year's joke out. The room freezes, then the laughter returns: the sonogram belongs to a stranger, and Lena tells him to put the ring back on. Framed photographs of his past humiliations sit beside the anniversary cake, and when Sean moves to leave, Lena warns him to think carefully.
At home, she calls him fragile and says he made her look pathetic. Toby keeps calling, anxious that Sean might do something irrational.
Inside the book Opening excerpt
Lena was the kind of person who valued a joke far more than she ever valued a boundary.
"If you don't keep things interesting, Sean, a marriage just rots," she used to tell me.
So, every year on our wedding anniversary, she and her childhood best friend, Toby, had an unspoken tradition. They would orchestrate an elaborate surprise, roping all our mutual friends into a staged production, purely to see how long it took for me to break.
Three years ago, she looked Toby dead in the eye at a rooftop bar and confessed she regretted ever walking down the aisle with me.
