The First Impression begins with the idyllic family. The wife watches as her husband, a politician, prepares their children for school. The reader senses a small ripple of trouble within the opening scene. That evening, he is late for their dinner plans with another couple. Eventually, plans are cancelled. When he finally arrives home, he informs her of his betrayal, and how a scandal is about to break. This First Impression was very compelling and left me wanting to know more!
