“What once I threw away with disdain, without a second thought, I now cherish with a heightened sensitivity. How stupid our young thoughts of immortality. How dangerous our contempt, our judgment, our arrogance regarding what all of us will ultimately become, and much sooner than we think. As if in youth, we hold some secret to life and love and eternal happiness. As if what we bring to the table will always be on our terms, our contracts neatly spelled out, a happily-ever-after always guaranteed. Now, how enticing to feel this spark of remembrance, this heat, this flame set afire in my heart, an alarm sounding through my soul.”

Thank you for ALL the 5* Reviews of A PERFECT HUSBAND! I hope my Goodreads friends will take it down from their shelves, take a read and get enlisted in a thriller compared to Jonathan Kellerman, Jeffery Deaver, Stephen King and, just today...James Patterson. I'm not on any KDP program so I can't offer discounts but I can offer my gratitude for being my friend and sharing books with me. Thank you, Goodreads family.
