The Unbreakables

by Lisa Barr

Overview

"It's Sophie Bloom's forty-second birthday, and she's ready for a night of celebration with Gabe, her long-time, devoted husband, her two besties, and their spouses. Dinner is served with a side of delicious gossip, including which North Grove residents were caught with their pants down after a secret online dating site for committed couples was hacked. Thirty-two million cheaters worldwide have been exposed ... including Sophie's 'perfect' husband. To add insult to injury, she learns Gabe is the top cheater in their town. Humiliated and directionless, Sophie flees to France to meet up with her teenage daughter who is studying abroad. After a brief visit to Paris, Sophie heads out to the artist enclave of Saint-Paul-de-Vence. There, Sophie acknowledges her own desires--not her husband's, not her daughter's--and rediscovers, with painful honesty and humor, her essence as she reawakens her sensuality and ambitions as a sculptor"--Dust jacket flap.
