Through her real diary, her fake diary (which she uses to manipulate her husband), and the words of an omniscient narrator (whose identity is revealed at the end of the book), Shadow Tag tells the story of Irene and her husband Gil, as they struggle through a dysfunctional relationship. It's a train wreck you can't look away from, knowing that it will end badly, while you still hope for the best.
