Surprise Me


A witty and emotionally charged novel that delves into the heart of a marriage, and how those we love and know best can sometimes surprise us the most-from #1 New York Times bestselling author Sophie Kinsella After ten years together, Sylvie and Dan have a comfortable home, fulfilling jobs, and beautiful twin girls, and communicate so seamlessly they finish each other's sentences. They have a happy marriage and believe they know everything there is to know about each other. Until it's casually mentioned to them that they could be together for another sixty-eight years . . . and panic sets in. They decide to bring surprises into their marriage to keep it fresh and fun. But in their pursuit to execute Project Surprise Me-from unexpected gifts to restaurant dates to sexy photo shoots-mishaps arise, with disastrous and comical results. Gradually, surprises turn to shocking truths. And when a scandal from the past is uncovered, they begin to wonder if they ever really knew each other after all.
