A review by dustyloup
The Christine + Jake Affair by Morgan Parker

4.0

I thought this was a unique twist on a romance novel, seeing the story unfold through texts plus the layer of another person's perspective. It's like a Russian doll of perspectives: Jake's, Christine's, Katie's, and then your own - plus there's Rachel and Christine's "abusive husband" to boot. And you can't even know what happens to Jake and Christine when they're together, we just see the textual aftermath. The characters are really unlikeable - and they get more unlikeable in book two. I liked it so much, I bought the sequel.
