Marissa and Matthew are often referred to as 'the golden couple" so why are they going to see a therapist? Because Marissa has a confession to make and she anonymously received an article about Avery, the therapist, and her unconventional methods. Of apparent little to no concern to Marissa is the fact that Avery is no longer a licensed therapist, she just hopes Avery can help their marriage. There is something that connects Avery to Marissa and Matthew but you don't realize what it is until the end of the book (unless you figure out beforehand). Avery, a maverick therapist who lost her license due to controversial methods, agrees to help golden couple Marissa and Mathew Bishop overcome Marissa's cheating, setting all three of them on a collision course because the biggest--and most dangerous--secrets have not yet been revealed. Avery’s method didn’t seem plausible to me but it was entertaining. Besides the problems with Marissa’s cheating, Avery had problems with a pharmaceutical company threatening her because she called in information about serious problems with one of their drugs which she learned about from a client. There were many twist and turns. Although not compelling, it kept me interested. I read this book as a mentor text for a project I'm working on, and it taught me a lot about how to work in the right amount of suspense for the reader. There were so many questions asked by the end of the first quarter of this book, that I had to keep going to unravel it all. This was told from two points of view, written in first person for POV #1 and third person for the POV #2, and it was a little jarring at first, but ultimately helped me follow along with the two narratives. The beginning started off a little slow for me which is the only reason why I'm not giving this five stars, but once this story took off, I truly couldn't put it down. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

"The Golden Couple is the next electrifying novel from Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen, the #1 New York Times bestselling author duo behind You Are Not Alone, An Anonymous Girl, and The Wife Between Us. If Avery Chambers can't fix you in 10 sessions, she won't take you on as a client. Her successes are phenomenal--she helps people overcome everything from domineering parents to assault--and almost absorb the emptiness she sometimes feels since her husband's death. Marissa and Mathew Bishop seem like the golden couple--until Marissa cheats. She wants to repair things, both because she loves her husband and for the sake of their 8-year-old son. After a friend forwards an article about Avery, Marissa takes a chance on this maverick therapist, who lost her license due to controversial methods. When the Bishops glide through Avery's door and Marissa reveals her infidelity, all three are set on a collision course. Because the biggest secrets in the room are still hidden, and it's no longer simply a marriage that's in danger"-- Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

Avery Chambers received her Master's degree in Social Work married to Paul who was an author, 20 years her junior and dies from a seizure caused by an aggressive brain tumor. Avery has her own ideas about how to help her clients and developed a 10-step therapy session program. This practice swayed from the traditional practice she was licensed to practice. After she loses her therapist license she decides to practice by her own rules. She is a woman who isn't afraid to push the limits or boundaries to get the results she seeks with her clients and in her personal life.
Marissa and Matthew Bishop are trying to reconcile after it is revealed that Marissa had an affair with a man at her gym. Matthew is a partner in a DC law firm sleeping in the guest room when he agrees to seek counseling when Marissa suggests they see Avery. Marissa owns a boutique shop called Coco where she sells unique, specialty items and has Polly working as an assistant for her so she can care for their 8 year old son Bennett. The Bishops agree to the unusual therapy techniques of Avery Chambers but aren't convinced that this will work and don't completely reveal the depths of their marital issues. Meanwhile, Avery is dealing with her own personal drama which distracts her focus and provides her own problems.
This is a tumultuous ride of some very flawed characters who are juggling deceit and lies with trust and forgiveness. Will they be able to resolve jealousy and betrayal and find a family worth saving? ( )
