NAVEL GAZING: excessive absorption in self-analysis or focus on a single issue
-A Lie I decided to focus on family, choosing to believe-and have faith-that everything else would fall into place. I wasn't comfortable (or good) at lying to her. So, when Samantha surprised me one day by swallowing her pride and asking directly if anything had happened during our break, I hesitated. The silence, I believed, said it all. I was on the verge of confessing when she gave me my out: "If you tell me nothing happened, I'll believe you," she said. ------ I should have told her the truth then-or resolved never to reveal it. But I didn't. Instead, it surfaced years later, during the final unraveling of our marriage, when I was leaving for good. I selfishly brought it up, hoping to push her away. ------ But in that moment years earlier, I let her believe what she clearly wanted to hold on to-that I had been faithful. She knew Pippa, and probably sensed something had happened between us, but she let it go-and so did I. It was cowardice, I know. Still, I made up my mind to make our dream work. And for a while it did. We rebuilt, we dreamed again. Three more sons came into our lives, and with them, years of trying to hold it all together. But more than a dozen years later, the same problems that once threatened us had only deepened-and would soon spiral out of control.Complete

You Would Never Know
Ignoring the dreariness that followed her, she left everything behind and drowned herself in a lifestyle that consisted of constant jet lag and days of sleepless nights. And deep down, she was aware her only survival mechanism was to run away and not look back, even if all she wanted to do was take one more glance at the one who was deserving of a stargazer, not a withering being with nebulous ideas for salvation. After nearly a decade of evasion, Dali realizes this isn't the place she's supposed to be and decides to take a leap of faith back to where everything started, not knowing that she'd be busy unraveling the web of lies created by the unexpected.

It does have around 40 chapters so it might not seem like it. But trust me that it is.] ||Full Disclosure|| I started the book in the end of 8th grade so it needs MAJOR editing. It also does have Sexual Chapters, as well as people of the same sex being together, murder, brutally torture talk of rape and sexual harassment.
