The Incident and Everything After

In this darkly humorous tale of hidden love affairs and family secrets that keep piling up, age is just a number. Liz Reardon fears that she will die this year—after all, so many people she knows haven’t made it past sixty! But after the day she’s been having on her sixtieth birthday, perhaps that wouldn’t be so bad after all. When a horrible surprise party is topped off with finding her ex-husband, Bob, in a running car in her garage, her affair with him seems like the least of her mistakes. In the lengthy list of bad decisions that Bob Chafe has made in life, nearly killing himself is now at the top. A close second is leaving his wife, Denise, for Liz—without checking with Liz first. When he wakes up from carbon monoxide poisoning, it seems like his best decision would be to pretend that all those bad decisions never happened. Juggling more secrets than any of them can count, will Liz, Bob, and Denise ever manage to outrun the chaos of their choices?
