Something in the Water by Catherine Steadman

A normal, happy couple are in the end stages of planning their wedding and honeymoon when life starts to fall apart a little. Erin and Mark have been together for a couple of years and are finally tying the knot, but when Mark loses his job as an investment banker, tensions in their relationship begin to arise. Erin, a documentary film maker in the midst of her first major project, hopes that their honeymoon will be the escape they need to already repair their brand new marriage. Even though she is terrified of diving, Erin agrees to an underwater excursion to please Mark. When they discover something much more than fish and coral below the surface, everything changes.

This book was absolutely fantastic! It was fast-paced and kept me turning the pages. The first chapter sucks the reader right in and doesn't let go. Perhaps a slightly unreliable narrator, Erin flashes back and forth between the present and back to when she and Mark met, telling us about their relationship and how they got to where they are. What does she know that she isn't telling? What does she not understand about who she can and can't trust? I have been recommending this book like crazy and I hope you'll pick up a copy, too. This book was so fun!
