Synopsis

Limerence

Be careful what you tell yourself.

Jackie Baker likes to pretend. She pretends she's happily married to her handsome, successful husband. She pretends she's the perfect mother to her two beautiful children. She even pretends that her secret job as a phone-sex operator is noble and fulfilling.

But after years of pretending, Jackie's life is about to unravel. Her husband may be having an affair. Her mothering skills may be less than stellar, and her new client with the alluring voice is about to send her spiraling.

As the line between reality and fantasy begins to blur, Jackie Baker becomes trapped in a cycle of obsession and lies. Now, she either has to get her life back on track, or it will spin out of control forever.

About this title

Review:

LIMERENCE is a novel about passion, temptation, and obsession... Block's knowledge of psychology and counseling play an important role in LIMERENCE's narrative, as she dives into the mental health of married, seemingly privileged women in a way that's rarely seen in fiction...[and] the frank discussions of anxiety and depression and their myriad manifestations are important. Block's prose is clean and unpretentious... and Jackie's evolution and growth drive the story, keeping readers intrigued... Indie Reader
