"From Bethany Chase--whom bestselling author Emily Giffin calls "a great new voice in fiction"--Comes a wise and delightfully relatable novel about a woman's journey to rebuild her life, and her heart, after a stunning betrayal. Can you ever really know the person you love? She never saw it coming. Without even a shiver of suspicion to warn her, Caroline Hammond discovers that her husband is having an affair with a man--a revelation that forces her to question their entire history together, from their early days as high school sweethearts through their ten years as a happily married couple. In her now upside-down world, Caroline begins envisioning her life without the relationship that has defined it: the loneliness of being an "I" instead of a "we"; the rekindled yet tenuous closeness with her younger sister; and the unexpected--and potentially disastrous--attraction she can't get off her mind. Caroline always thought she knew her own love story, but as her husband's other secrets emerge, she must decide whether that story's ending will mean forgiving the man she's loved for half her life, or facing her future without him. Compassionate and uplifting, Results May Vary is a bittersweet celebration of the fact that in love and in life, we rarely get exactly what we bargained for."-- Provided by publisher.

âBethany Chase writes with a realism of expression that allows readers to empathize and appreciate the charactersâ personalities and frustrations. The push and pull written into interpersonal dynamics between characters feels true to life, and is best seen in Carolineâs relationship with her sister. The surprises keep readers alert and the tempo of the novel holds their attention until the very last page.ââRT Book Reviews
âThis latest novel from Chase will appeal to anyone who has ever looked up to realize they define themselves by those surrounding them.

A good fit for fans of Emily Giffin and Kristin Hannah.ââBooklist
