“The pacing of this book is wonderful, it kept me pulled along and reading to the very end. Reality TV shows us one view of someone's life, but this book shows how different things can be under the surface. A Fixer-Upper-esque realty TV couple has the perfect reality come crashing down when the wife takes their infant twins on the run and the husband goes public with his version of the story. I'll be recommending this to Freida McFadden fans for sure!”

“The Perfect Home delivers two characters with seemingly perfect lives, then upends the story in the most diabolical fashion. If you are looking for an addictive novel, you have found the perfect prescription for a thriller that delivers!”

“Wonderfully written! You will be furious on behalf of the female protagonist, but ferociously rooting for her all the way. This story is a timely exploration of how the media’s portrayal of people and events can skew reality so completely that it’s nearly impossible to know the truth.”
— Erin • The Pretty Posy Books & Gifts
Fixer Upper meets Gone Girl in this suspenseful and witty domestic thriller set in the world of home renovation TV—featuring a woman who becomes public enemy #1 after a horrifying discovery prompts her to flee her celebrity husband with their twin babies.
Dawn Decker is an American everywoman and the salt to her husband Wyatt’s sweet, media-friendly charm on their Tennessee-based home renovation reality TV show, The Perfect Home. While Dawn bristles at the trappings of their D-list celebrity status, Wyatt hungers for greater fame. The couple also faces infertility issues stemming from Wyatt’s low sperm count. He secretly orders experimental fertility drugs, and they conceive, but his personality takes a dark turn—he becomes moody, withdrawn, and even cruel.
When Dawn discovers his horrifying plot to manufacture a tragedy in order to skyrocket their celebrity status, she takes their infant twins and goes on the run. Wyatt appears on national television to turn the public against her, painting Dawn as an unstable kidnapper suffering from postpartum psychosis. His charm is so compelling that even Dawn’s closest friends doubt her. She will have to dig deep into the past—both hers and Wyatt’s—to find allies, protect her children, and beat this beloved all-American celebrity at his own game.
Told in dual perspectives from both husband and wife, this smart, captivating, and twisty thriller is a fun, addictive read from the very first page.
