I kind of regret reading this. It wasn't for me. While Sally's writing has always been good for me, this is the first story I've read by her that I didn't empathize with.

Pretty good short story. I liked the twist at the halfway point. I kinda saw it coming though, but it was still interesting.

I went into this expecting a thriller/mystery. Instead, this is more of a suspenseful romance. I saw what was coming, and if it weren’t so short, I would have probably set it aside for something else.

I liked this one and appreciated the ending, but I definitely expected something more intense or sinister to come out of it. I figured out what was going on pretty quickly and kept waiting for another reveal that never came. A fine way to pass the time, but not one that will stick with me.

Surprisingly really liked this. Usually books that feature infidelity so much give me the ick this one did not.

this book tries to explore the ethics of cheating and point out the irony in labeling cheaters “bad people” by creating a scenario where one might excuse the cheating and thereby reassess one’s own ethics, but falls flat. it’s also a tale of eye-for-an-eye vengeance.
