long time no see... In my new season of life aka ~adulting~ I struggle to come home from a full day of work and pick up a book. Anybody else go through this? I'm slowlllyyy getting back into, but in the meantime I'm been listening to a ton of podcasts to have something to stimulate my brain. Should I try an audio book?

My Lovely Wife by Samantha Downing Goodreads Summary: Dexter meets Mr. and Mrs. Smith in this wildly compulsive debut thriller about a couple whose fifteen-year marriage has finally gotten too interesting... Our love story is simple. I met a gorgeous woman. We fell in love. We had kids. We moved to the suburbs. We told each other our biggest dreams, and our darkest secrets. And then we got bored. We look like a normal couple. We're your neighbors, the parents of your kid's friend, the acquaintances you keep meaning to get dinner with. We all have secrets to keeping a marriage alive. Ours just happens to be getting away with murder. My Review: 4/5 Stars This summary caught my attention right away, and I thought it was going to be another thrilling mystery similar to all the others out there and boy was I wrong. Downing wrote this book to be all kinds of twisty and messed up that had me staying up all night to finish it. All true-crime fan...
