Be prepared for a twisted, unexpected story when reading, Too Good to Be True. In March 2019, Skye Starling is a young, beautiful free lance editor of young adult fiction with a wedding to plan. She had never dreamed that she would ever find love due to her severe OCD condition which began after her mother died when she was 12 years old. It has been a source of constant stress and embarrassment for her preventing long term relationships due to her ritualistic behavior. Skye works from home which allows her to avoid people staring at her when she needs to knock on wood 8 times before exiting a room. Her father sold his profitable pharmaceutical company to J&J and so money has never been problem for the family.
She has some close, protective friends from college who understand her condition and help provide her with much needed socialization. It is on a girl's trip to Montauk Gurneys resort with her best friend, Andie that Skye meets Burke Michaels, a tall handsome, 47 year old. Despite her friends and family cautioning her not to move too fast, she falls head over heels in love with Burke after only dating 6 months. Meanwhile, there is another story being told via "Burke Michael's diary" beginning in September 2018 that proves to add a spin to the story. It seems that Burke Michaels is living two different lives in which he is also married to Heather his high school sweetheart. The question is which one is the "real" life Burke Michaels wants to live.
The story mixes the past with the present in which the truth is hard to discern. When Burke proposes to Skye she feels blessed to have found the love of her life. The couple seem to have an idyllic life when reality is exposed and everyone is unprepared for the fall out. What follows is an unbelievable web of truths and lies which are more convoluted than originally shared. If you love twisted, psychological stories then this is for you.
