2019br. Ogni relazione ha le sue ombre. Anche il matrimonio perfetto. Quando leggerai questo romanzo, farai molte supposizioni. Supporrai che sia la storia di una ex moglie gelosa, ossessionata dalla donna che l'ha rimpiazzata nel cuore del suo ex marito. Oppure penserai che sia quella della ragazza che sta per sposare l'uomo dei suoi sogni, ancora piena di tutte le speranze di una giovane sposa. O ancora ti chiederai se non sia, in fondo, la storia di un triangolo in cui è difficile capire di chi fidarsi. Ti dirai che è una storia d'amore e odio, di seduzione e paura, di tradimento e giochi di potere. Supporrai di aver capito tutto di Vanessa ed Emma e dell'uomo che amano, le motivazioni dietro le loro azioni, l'anatomia delle relazioni che legano l'uno alle altre. Supporrai di sapere chi sono e che cosa muove, davvero, i loro cuori. Ma ti sbaglierai. Perché questo romanzo è proprio come la realtà. E nella realtà non c'è niente di vero. Nessuna relazione è senza ombra. Nessun amore è senza segreti. Ci sono solo gli sprazzi di verità dietro le bugie. O le piccole bugie che, insieme, fanno una verità. E la verità è l'unico modo per voltare pagina.
