You will hear every naive thought a mistress has and every stupid lie a cheating husband has in his repertoire. It's a tale as old as time, superbly told in this debut novel. I stayed up until late at night to finish this.

It is textbook "Oh, you have a wife." "Yes, but I love you." "Please leave your wife." "Of course I will, darling, but right now is not a good time." - And now she is pregnant and I can't hurt her. I'm a good person!" "When are you going to leave your wife?" "When the baby is here and she is done breastfeeding." "Please leave your wife. You promised." "I will, by the end of the year." "Actually, I can't do it." "You have to, you promised!" "She hasn't taken it well. She asked me to stay. I can't leave her." Etc. it's always interesting how the man can't break their wife's heart but think nothing of breaking their mistresses heart, who is apparently the one they love. Don't trust liers and cheaters, they will never change.
