"I am not alone at this party. You are at this miserable party with me. And it brings a smile to my face."

I really enjoyed this! I saw it one day while browsing around and my library had an ebook of it so I went ahead and read it. I wasn't sure what to expect, and I really dislike reading about cheating, but I loved the way it was written. Having it all written through letters between David and Carrie was so smart. I also really liked the ending and how Taylor Jenkins Reid wrote the confusing and delicate experience of being cheated on through two different perspectives
SpoilerI was so happy when Carrie ended up leaving Ken, but I also appreciated the duality of David staying with his wife
 

I also liked how Reid wrote the characters and their experiences to fit the time period (I believe the 70's),
Spoilersuch as how Carrie and Ken's infertility issues just had to be her fault and there was no point of even looking at Ken *eyeroll*


I have truly never been more disgusted by someone as I was with Ken though lmao
