From Goodreads:
It is a perfect July morning, and Elle, a 50-year-old happily married mother of three, awakens at “The Paper Palace” — the family summer place which she has visited every summer of her life. But this morning is different: last night Elle and her oldest friend Jonas crept out the back door into the darkness and had sex with each other for the first time, all while their spouses chatted away inside.
Now, over the next 24 hours, Elle will have to decide between the life she has made with her genuinely beloved husband, Peter, and the life she always imagined she would have had with her childhood love, Jonas, if a tragic event hadn’t forever changed the course of their lives.
Rapid Rating: High.
Profanity includes almost 70 uses of strong language, around 40 instances of moderate profanity, a dozen uses of mild language, and about 45 instances of the name of Deity in vain. Frequent mentions of sex, at least six scenes; extramarital affair. There is a rape and a tragic death, and the book’s description mentions abuse.
