Quite predictable and had some cheesy dialogue and moments, but definitely gripping and hard to stop once you've started.
Listened to this one on audio, its a dual narration which was done very well so recommend the audo.

It was a good premise but the ending was a bit too convenient for me... Wasn't how I expected or wanted things to go. Was still enjoyable book :)

Anyone who has thought about cheating or been tempted to cheat should read this book. In fact, make your spouse read it. I feel that this book has painted a rather accurate portrait of what affairs are like from the POVs of both the man and the other woman -- and the dire consequences it can have on both yourselves and others. The author clearly knows what she's writing about.
Wow, I really wasn't expecting this to be so good or to like this as much as I did. I have been wanting to read a story like that and this book pretty much had it all, plus more. It was just so thrilling and intense and psycho and I loved every page. It was hard to stop.
The book is split into three parts and told from the perspective of the cheating husband and the other woman. What seemed like any other affair quickly escalated and once the tables were turned... Woah. It was easy to figure out what was going on but that wasn't the point of the story and I don't think it was meant to be a twist. It's the entire story; vivid and gripping and nerve-wrecking.
I was satisfied by the ending, though it was clearly wrapped up too neatly and conveniently. But again, that's not the point of the book or story.

I enjoyed reading it! Though I wasn’t a fan of the whole affair thing but the story got me hooked as soon as I started reading it. Such a compelling thriller.
Full review soon!

Unlikeable characters in a very readable story. Not sure why George would have started an affair with Stella and why she changed into such a nutter. Also Stella never seemed to work but was worth millions.
Was worth a read.
