Emma and her husband, Leo, are celebrating the "all clear" she received from her doctor. Cancer that has been invading their lives for the last several years is officially in remission. Now that they are out of the woods, Leo, a well-known obituary writer, writes his wife's obituary. Being a well-known marine biologist qualifies her for having a stock obituary ready to go, so he digs into her life to tell her story. But as he digs, he realizes that Emma has been keeping secrets from him. For their entire relationship. When Emma goes missing, Leo digs even deeper to discover that some of the secrets she has been keeping could end their marriage. Will Leo ever understand Emma's secrets before it is too late?
If I have said it once, I have said it a dozen times. So many of the issues couples have in books like The Love of My Life could be solved with proper communication. Just talk to each other! I didn't hate either of them, I just didn't connect with them. Either Emma or Leo. As Leo investigates his wife for her future obituary he discovers secrets she had kept from him. And I felt bad for both of them, but again, the communication should have been better between a husband and wife. Things worked out for both of them, but only because they finally started talking to each other.
Bottom Line - I am getting discouraged with thrillers that really aren't thrillers because communication could solve all of their problems. I love a good thriller, but I hate it when the root of the issue is just two people who don't know how to communicate.
