Read the "rollickingly good literary thriller" and New York Times bestseller that's the inspiration for the HBO limited series The Undoing, premiering October 25 and starring Nicole Kidman and Hugh Grant (Vanity Fair).
Grace Reinhart Sachs is living the only life she ever wanted for herself. Devoted to her husband, a pediatric oncologist at a major cancer hospital, their young son Henry, and the patients she sees in her therapy practice, her days are full of familiar things: she lives in the very New York apartment in which she was raised, and sends Henry to the school she herself once attended.
Dismayed by the ways in which women delude themselves, Grace is also the author of a book You Should Have Known, in which she cautions women to really hear what men are trying to tell them. But weeks before the book is published a chasm opens in her own life: a violent death, a missing husband, and, in the place of a man Grace thought she knew, only an ongoing chain of terrible revelations. Left behind in the wake of a spreading and very public disaster, and horrified by the ways in which she has failed to heed her own advice, Grace must dismantle one life and create another for her child and herself.

The premise of the story was a good one ... a therapist writes a book giving harsh advice on relationships while she herself is in the very kind of relationship she has lectured others against. I think it's a good beach read. My main issues are with character likeability (her coldness and sense of privilege) and some scenes that didn't ring true for me (i.e. her husband has gone missing but when she finds his cell phone hidden in his nightstand, she doesn't check it out for messages? There was a little too much 'head in the sand' to be believable for me.) ( )

Meh.
Too much of the action in this “thriller” happened off page. And all of the characters were SO materialistic! ( )

If you liked Gone Girl and The Husband's Secret, you will love this book. Kept me reading and not wanting to stop. ( )

Pretty predictable. Too contrived ending

This book started off SUPER SLOW...but after it reach Part 2, the pace picked up. By Part 3, I couldn't put the book down. My only regret is the painfully slow setup in Part 1, which was necessary considering the complexity of the novel, but also unnecessary if the asides and back story and tangential interludes were cut down a bit with the right editor (but which would ultimately have altered the flavor and richness of Part 2 and 3). What saved me from putting this book down was the concept: a psychologist who writes a book about how women should have known about their no-good spouses before they said "I do" discovers she has been married 18 years to the biggest sociopath nicknamed "Doc Murder" just weeks before her book hits the bookstores.

Usually people cried when they came here for the first time, and this girl looked as if she'd be no exception.
