Kenzie, a receptionist at a clinic, is new to the circle and has recently married Matthew Phillips, a prominent plastic surgeon. She is overjoyed at the new life Matthew has given her but feels insecure in the circle because she is younger and not as successful as the other wives. She feels like an outsider because Matthew was once married to their good friend, Violet, a chemist with her own perfume line. His fourteen-year-old daughter, Natalia, doesn’t respect her and she feels as if she’s living in his ex-wife's shadow. Kenzie feels like she should have achieved more in her life and wants to go to college. When Kenzie doesn’t feel like she is getting the support from Matthew she deserves, she seeks comfort elsewhere, and this may cause her to lose it all.

Great story

This was a book I couldn’t put down!! Can’t wait to start book 2!! Kenzie baby are you still with us?!!

So much potential

This book had so much potential. Story was interesting and entertaining. However the narration was absolutely horrible. I struggled to finish.
