How certain can you ever be about the person you love-or the person you are?
Alice Smith is a woman who thrives on order, percentages, and careful calculations. Her life is measured in neat fractions: a stable marriage, a promising career, a well-planned future. But when certainty begins to fracture, Alice finds herself clinging to numbers instead of truth-desperately trying to quantify love, loyalty, and sanity itself.
As three women's lives quietly intertwine-Alice, her husband's ambitious paralegal Jessica, and the unraveling Natalie-what begins as a seemingly ordinary marriage spirals into obsession, betrayal, and psychological collapse. Memories blur. Reality shifts. And the question at the heart of it all becomes dangerously unclear:
What happens when the story you tell yourself is no longer true?
Told through multiple perspectives with dark wit and mounting tension, Fractions of Sanity is a sharp, unsettling exploration of marriage, infidelity, identity, and the fragile line between rational thought and self-deception. Kristine Wolfe's debut novel examines how easily control can slip away-and how terrifying it is when certainty becomes an illusion.
Perfect for readers who love psychologically driven women's fiction, morally complex characters, and stories that linger long after the final page.
