A couple revisits Niagara Falls, where they honeymooned long ago and where they plan to visit the casino. It‘s an all or nothing weekend: their marriage and their financial situation are on the brink of collapse.

Now it seems as if there‘s a lot of plot but the book is actually much more character driven: husband and wife circling around eachother, thinking for one another, and reliving their shared years. Very subtle, very good.

Reggie I loved this book. They were gonna be alright in the end, right? 4h

BarbaraBB @Reggie I think so yes. And I think they had been heading that way for a while already without me being aware of it, while looking back I could have. I loved that!! 3h

My secret Santa book from Christmas Eve.
S series of vignette style chapters, concerning her relationship and marriage and some life with her husband, recounted through small sections.
Sometimes hard to follow as it's not linear but an insight into her mind.
