"FABULOUS." --B.A. Paris, New York Times bestselling author of Behind Closed Doors and The BreakdownTHE PERFECT MARRIAGE IS THE PERFECT ILLUSION. Paul Strom has the perfect life: a glittering career as an advertising executive, a beautiful wife, two healthy boys and a big house in a wealthy suburb. And he's the perfect husband: breadwinner, protector, provider. That's why he's planned a romantic weekend for his wife, Mia, at their lake house, just the two of them. And he's promised today will be the best day ever. But as Paul and Mia drive out of the city and toward the countryside, a spike of tension begins to wedge itself between them and doubts start to arise. How much do they trust each other? And how perfect is their marriage, or any marriage, really? Forcing us to ask ourselves just how well we know those who are closest to us, Best Day Ever crackles with dark energy, spinning ever tighter toward its shocking conclusion. In the vein of The Couple Next Door, Kaira Rouda weaves a gripping, tautly suspenseful tale of deception and betrayal dark enough to destroy a marriage...or a life. Praise for Best Day Ever "Highly entertaining and truly surprising " --Kate Moretti, New York Times bestselling author of The Vanishing Year "Best Day Ever is a creepy, spine-tingling and utterly addictive tale of domestic suspense." --Liz Fenton and Lisa Steinke, bestselling authors of The Good Widow
At first I found the story boring until I got in to it. I wondered why so much boring detail until it finally clicked. After that I couldn’t put it down. I will read more books by this author.
it runs a little slow and a little too long with a kind of unsatisfying ending.

Interesting book with Paul telling the story of he & Mia's marriage on the way to the lake house for the "Best Day Ever". Both characters are completely unlikable & unreliable. Paul tells you what he wants you to know, or does he? Mia is whiny & unpredictable, or is she? Taking place from 9am till 4:45am chronicling the drive to the lake house, arrival, dinner, & aftermath
Kaira Rouda at her best

If you only read one book this year I recommend this to be it. The master exceeded herself when she wrote this book.
