Now they’re married and living on a houseboat on Lake Union her daughter, Abby, likes Ian well enough, but Kristen and particularly Bethy have never forgiven Ian for leaving their mother and bitterly blame Dani. The couple met when married to others-angry, abusive Mark and party-throwing, hard-drinking, free-spending Mary-and the resultant divorces scandalized their affluent Seattle suburb. She vaguely remembers an argument the night before, and Ian is the punishing sort who seethes in silence or absents himself when she’s displeased him. When Dani Keller wakes up with a pounding headache after too much wine and a couple of Vicodin at a tense party at husband Ian’s software company, she isn’t terribly surprised not to find him next to her. YA veteran and National Book Award finalist Caletti ( The Story of Us, 2012, etc.) makes a striking adult debut with this tale of a husband’s mysterious disappearance. ![]()
