The Truth behind the Smile

About the Book

Kian Ireland woke up New Year’s Day in 2020 knowing that it was only a matter of time before he ended it with his wife. With children involved, it was not an easy decision. That day, he reported to work even though he could have taken the day off. Going to the office was easier than facing the reality of life at home. Three weeks later, he told his wife it was over and was surprised by the look of shock on her face. How could she not know? Was it complete naivety on her part? As he entered his fortieth year, most people thought that same thing: Oh, he must be having a midlife crisis. In signature form, he promptly began dating another woman—and sleeping with her, too. Then, in March, the world came to a halt as the coronavirus began ripping through the world. Suddenly, the author had to juggle splitting up with his wife, dating a new woman, and meeting other women online amid a worldwide lockdown. Join the author as he looks back at an eventful year that brought more than a few surprises with The Truth behind the Smile.
