Just Another Week in Suburbia by Les Zig

Summary (via Goodreads)
Casper Gray goes to bed a happily married man.
He wakes up questioning whether everything is a lie.
Life in suburbia holds few surprises for Casper. He and his wife Jane are still trying for a baby after seven years. His neighbours have their quirks to be navigated. And his job as a high school teacher, while satisfying, comes with its challenges. Every day is much like the one before - that is, until Casper makes a discovery that threatens everything he knows...
As Casper's fears grow into obsessions, his world starts to unravel. Just Another Week in Suburbia is a story about love, trust, and insecurity, and the question of whether you can ever really know another person.

My Opinion
This book was deceptively simple.  It's very grounded in reality but the characters are still unpredictable enough to keep me surprised.  There's no huge dramatic "aha" moment but I didn't want to put the book down, probably because I love to people-watch and this felt like looking into a couple's window and witnessing their private marriage moments.  I would definitely read this author again.

I can't really say much about the discovery or the progression after it other than to say that it was a perfect example of how something so small can begin an unraveling and change the dynamic of everything.  Some of the stuff involving his work felt unnecessary but overall, I understood the journey of the characters even if I wouldn't react the same way.

This would be a good book club book, assuming the book club can handle a few graphic sex scenes, because there is a lot of discussion potential about characters' choices and how the reader felt about them.
