520    What do you do when you discover that the person you've 
       built your life around never existed? When "it could never
       happen to me" does happen to you?   These are the 
       questions facing Jen Waite when she begins to realize that
       her loving husband--the father of her infant daughter, her
       best friend, the love of her life--fits the textbook 
       definition of psychopath. In a raw, first-person account, 
       Waite recounts each heartbreaking discovery, every life-
       destroying lie, and reveals what happens once the dust 
       finally settles on her demolished marriage.  After a 
       disturbing email sparks Waite's suspicion that her husband
       is having an affair, she tries to uncover the truth and 
       rebuild trust in her marriage. Instead, she finds more 
       lies, infidelity, and betrayal than she could have 
       imagined. Waite obsessively analyzes her relationship, 
       trying to find a single moment from the last five years 
       that isn't part of the long-con of lies and manipulation. 
       With a dual-timeline narrative structure, we see Waite's 
       romance bud, bloom, and wither simultaneously, making the 
       heartbreak and disbelief even more affecting
