deja_anae's review against another edition
5.0
This was a heart wrenching tale of love, lust, and betrayal. Dickey weaves this story from beginning to end in first person. An intimate position from the wife's perspective allows the reader to share a POV that is slightly more appealing, different, and invigorating. All events happening in less than 72 hours and you walk in on a world full of secrets. Two marriages become the epicenter of a catastrophic world. The characters in this novel are flushed out into a fluent existence. Their characteristics are believable and you may find yourself identifying with each aspect of their foundation. All in all, you feel deeply for all these star crossed lovers trapped in a love triangle or square rather. At the core of the novel, the reader feels a deep sense of sadness for all parties towards the end. Just when you think Eric is done, he hits you with a draw dropping finale that leaves you floored. Disheartened, shocked, and sad at least I felt this way. The ending was one word: bittersweet but this novel was suspenseful. I read it in all of 3 days. Eric makes you a believer all the time and I believe that he is truly a master of his craft! Phenomenal read!

I LOVED this! I felt for this character! The mess happening enthralled me and I just couldn’t stop listening. It was such a beautiful but sad ending, too. I already want to reread it. This author knows how to tell a story!
