Product Information

Marissa hires the infamous couples counselor, Avery Chambers, hoping that her "Ten Step program" is going to salvage her imploding marriage. Matthew leaves for work and Marissa confesses to Avery that her fling was with someone she and Matthew have known for years. Despite losing her license, due to her controversial methods, her success rate is phenomenal but she won't take you on if she isn't certain she can fix you with her ten-step program. That’s probably to keep the secret that Avery’s Skip was also Marissa’s lover, but I think that reveal could and should have been made sooner.

Sophie and Bryce are known as "the golden couple" at their high school, but everything changes for them when Bryce is diagnosed with cancer.

Thanks NetGalley for providing this ARC (Advanced Reader Copy) at no charge in exchange for a fair and honest review.

In The Golden Couple’s opening pages, you will meet Avery Chambers, an eminent (and quite unconventional) “therapist,” who is unlike any therapist you’ve ever known. But when wounded Air Force pilot Griffin Walker enters her life, Kendall realizes the beauty of God’s plan. They find themselves seeking out the help of Avery, a former therapist who lost her license for her unconventional practices.

He’s doing these things both to toy with Marissa and to enact his revenge: While Matthew has been pretending to forgive his wife, he’s actually setting up an intricate plot in which he will frame Marissa’s ex-lover as an obsessive, angry man and create a scenario in which it looks like the ex-lover killed Marissa and tried to kill Matthew. But Avery’s actually been struck off from some of her direct, unauthorized methods of changing her clients’ lives. After the session, Avery thinks about her client Finley who had overheard her bosses at a pharma company talk about the deadly side effects of a new drug. Now, instead of enjoying the lazy summer days along the ocean, Paige is navigating the rocky waters of a forgotten bond with her sister in the sweltering city heat.

On page 7, Samantha asks Nellie one of the defining questions of the novel: “Ever think he’s too good to be true? From Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen, the authors of the top ten bestseller The Wife Between Us, comes The Golden Couple – a compelling psychological thriller that will keep you guessing to the very end. The story kept me on the edge of my seat and there weren’t really any moments where I rolled my eyes and thought “this wouldn’t happen” so I take that as a win! My home office is uncluttered and comfortable, with a few ficus trees, a deep bay window, and colorful abstract prints on the walls.Matthew helps his wife off with her cape before he removes his overcoat, hanging them on the wood-and-brass standing coatrack, then takes a seat on the couch. What I can tell you is that I got totally engrossed in her attempts to do so, and “Hendanen” have delivered another page-turning read. Kellie's neighbor, Susan Barrett, begins every day with fresh resolutions: She won't eat any carbs, she'll go to bed at a reasonable hour, and she'll stop stalking her ex-husband and his new girlfriend.
