"Well then." Nat raised her wineglass in a mock toast, as another boom of thunder sounded outside. "To our future as criminal masterminds."
Will clinked his glass against hers. "To getting away with it."

Natalie and Will, both attorneys who met in college, are going through the motions of their mundane lives when they discover that the principal at their son's school has been arrested for indecency with a minor. Worse, they discover that Charlie has also been victimized by the principal, someone that had considered a friend. Overcome with rage, Natalie plots her revenge which has dire consequences.

For Better and Worse is another novel that has taken me by surprise. When I first started reading this book, I was SO sure I was going to dislike. I thought the writing to be so boring and Hunt had described boring scenes; but then towards the end I realized she intently did that as a comparison between "the before" and "the after" and to show how not everyone is as they appear to be on the surface. I got completely hooked into the storyline; this is the type of book that you stay up reading until 2 a.m. There's also multiple twists. I mean, that ending! I did NOT see that coming, at all! If you like suspenseful thrillers, you should definitely pick up For Better and Worse.

RATING (out of five puppies):
