Synopsis

Written in Lauren K. Denton’s signature Southern style, The One You’re With tells the story of a seemingly perfect marriage rocked by secrets from the past.High-school sweethearts Mac and Edie Swan lead a seemingly picture-perfect life in the sleepy-sweet community of Oak Hill, near Mobile, Alabama. Edie is a respected interior designer, Mac is a beloved pediatrician, and they have two great kids and a historic home on tree-lined Linden Avenue. From the outside, the Swan family is the definition of “the good life.” And life is good—mostly. Until a young woman walks into Mac’s office one day. A young woman whose very existence threatens all Mac and Edie have built and all they think they know about each other.Nineteen years after a summer apart, with a family and established lives and careers, the past that Mac and Edie thought they left behind has come back to greet them. For the first time, constants in their lives are called into question: their roles as parents, their reputation as upstanding members of the community, and the very foundations of their marriage. As they wade through the upheaval in both their family and professional lives, they must each examine choices they made long ago and chart a new course for their future.Full-length Southern women’s fictionStand-alone novelBook length: 116,000 wordsAlso by Lauren K.

Goodreads review by Theresa on June 27, 2021

While this is well written, I guessed the central problem on page one and the ending before I opened the book. I was hoping there might be a big twist and I was wrong, but every minor plot point ended exactly as I thought it would. Mac and Edie tell their stories from when they separated for three m......more

Goodreads review by Nan on April 24, 2021

Gosh, I hate to be the naysayer here, but this was very shallow. The female protagonist, Edie, was totally into herself and very, very annoying.
