Every Lie We Told

About this item

Jennifer and Mark Oberg's marriage began in laughter and friendship, and a misunderstanding that became the fault line beneath everything that followed. After twenty years, their bond has thinned into distance and unspoken resentment. When a fantasy about opening their marriage begins as playful banter, Jen sees it as a way to spark Mark's jealousy, one of the only signs of passion she still recognizes in him. To her surprise, the game works. For a while, it feels like they've rediscovered each other, tucked safely inside a bubble of whispered rules and private adventures. But when fantasy collides with reality, cracks widen into chasms. Outside temptations, long-buried grief, and the truths they've never dared to say aloud threaten to destroy the fragile balance they've built. Every Lie We Told is a domestic drama about the risks we take to be truly seen, the quiet heartbreak of secrets, and the resilience of love when it's tested to its breaking point. At
