One day, she drops off their children, 11-year-old Hannah and 9-year-old Solly, at Toby's house while he is still sleeping and takes off. She does not respond to texts or calls from him for the following weeks. The story, narrated by Toby's college friend Libby, a former writer for a men's magazine, follows their lives over this period and the events that led to the breakdown of their 14-year-marriage, as well as reflections of Libby's own life.
