The Good Guy | Susan Beale

2 posts | 1 read | 1 to read

A deeply compelling novel set in 1960s suburban America for fans of The Engagements and Tigers in Red Weather. Ted, a car-tyre salesman in 1960s suburban New England, is a dreamer who craves admiration. His wife, Abigail, longs for a life of the mind. Single-girl Penny just wants to be loved. When a chance encounter brings Ted and Penny together, he becomes enamoured and begins inventing a whole new life with her at its centre. But when this fantasy collides with reality, the fallout threatens everything, and everyone, he holds dear. The Good Guy is a deeply compelling debut about love, marriage and what happens when good intentions and self-deception are taken to extremes.

The Good Guy | Susan Beale

Few chapters in and I like this. I relate to the Abigail character on a number of levels...

I've my reading light clipped to my book as we off to the in-laws tomorrow for Xmas and they don't do bedside reading lights (ðŸ˜¦) plus I'm sharing a room with my 5 year old so need her to stay asleep tomorrow night ðŸŽ…

The Good Guy | Susan Beale

Started reading The Good Guy by Susan Beale this week and it's great - lots to discuss about marriage and female empowerment (or not...) so a perfect book club read too.
