Synopsis

Sandy Pressman's marriage to her husband David is a comfortable life of suburban routine and quiet dissatisfaction. When she meets the younger man named David — who shares her husband's name, an irony that complicates everything — their affair begins as something impulsive and becomes harder to let go. As Sandy navigates desire, guilt, and the choices facing her family, Judy Blume crafts a darkly comic portrait of infidelity in suburbia.
