Short Summary of the Book:
Pippa and Gabe Gerard have been happily married for seven years, and are the proud parents of two lovely daughters. They recently bought their dream house in a sleepy, small coastal town outside Melbourne, which sits on a cliff overlooking the ocean. Pippa’s family, including her parents, her newly expecting sister, and her sister’s wife, all live nearby, and the Gerards seem like the perfect family.
After a tragic incident, Gabe became a stay-at-home father, caring for their children, while Pippa works as an estate lawyer, the practical fixer and breadwinner of the family.
It was only after they moved in that they realized their house was located near a popular suicide point. One day, Gabe sees a person near the cliff and approaches him to talk. After nearly seven hours, the man walks away and Gabe saves his life. He also convinces six other people not to jump, becoming a local hero and giving an interview to the newspaper.
However, when a woman in her early fifties comes to their house, Pippa watches through the window as Gabe stands close to her with his arms outstretched. The woman falls down, and Pippa wonders whether she was pushed or jumped. Although the woman’s death is ruled a suicide, Pippa can’t shake the feeling that something isn’t right.
As the story unfolds, we learn about the secrets and lies that both Pippa and the woman, Amanda, kept about their marriages. The perspectives of both women give us insight into their lives and the unexpected twists and turns that follow. While Pippa struggles to come to terms with Amanda’s death, she also realizes that the woman was someone she knew, and this knowledge could ruin everything about their lives.
As the story moves back and forth between their perspectives, readers are in for a thrilling ride filled with unexpected surprises and revelations.
