Summary
Rio thought she had her game day routine perfected. Then Agatha and her five-year-old son Nicky crash into the seat next to her (wearing Cardinals jerseys, no less) and suddenly Rio's carefully maintained rituals doesn't stand a chance.

Summary
For the sake of argument and his own sanity. What if it was a time loop?
If there’s anything Ted knows from fiction, it’s that he won’t be able to escape it until he accomplishes some goal or task. And it isn’t all that hard to figure out what it’s gotta take.
He’s destined to repeat this day until they win the whole fucking thing.

Summary
'She blinks. Once. Twice. Multiple times in rapid succession. Dries her hands, takes her glasses off and cleans them with her sleeve. The spot doesn’t disappear. It doesn’t grow either, mercifully, but remains maddeningly and perfectly in the centre-left of her visual field. Huh. That's… unusual. It’s as if something small and six-legged has crawled across her eyeball and taken a bite out of it while she slept. Fear constricts her ribcage, cold and sudden.
Is she going blind?'
Helen loses her eyesight over time. Madeline is there every step of the way.

Summary
She had thought she had finally hacked it. That was until she moved to Somerset Heights.
She is unraveling and her edges are fraying in the wind. All because of a blonde domestic housewife. She wishes she could laugh. Instead she grips the wheel tighter and lays her head on it. Resists the urge to smash it at least five times.
A metaphor of a moth drawn to a flame. Except, Madeline Menville is as powerful as the sun. And Helen burns. Unable to stop herself from being drawn by her radiance.

Summary
Madeline has the perfect life. She reminds herself as she applies her make up in her vanity.
She has everything a woman can dream of: a husband and a house big enough for a family of six with a perfect lawn and picket fence.
She is the American Dream all those men fought so hard for in the second World War.
Still, she’s profoundly unsatisfied.
