'Evidence of the Affair' by Taylor Jenkins Reid is a very quick read. About 86 pages long this book starts when a woman named Carrie Allsop finds out that her husband, Ken Allsop, has been cheating on her since the past 3 months. She writes a letter to David Mayer, the husband of Janet Mayer, the girl Ken has been cheating her with. In the heartbreaking exchange of letters done between the two they soon find comfort and friendship within each other. As they exchange more letters they find out there's more to reveal about the relationship of Ken and Janet.
Semi Detailed Plot : David finds it hard to believe that Janet is having an affair. He startts to look for evidences as more letters are exchanged between him and Carrie. When he's sure that what Carrie told her was true, he is heartbroken like Carrie. Soon, through the letters they find a friend in each other, because they were the only one in their whole world who would feel what exactly they were feeling. Ken is unhappy in his relationship because Carrie couldnt bear him a child. Both of them pretend to live a healthy life with their spouse, and their spouses are unaware of the fact that they KNOW. Carrie and David start seeing each other weekly. Carrie confronts Ken soon enough and leaves him. The story ends with Carrie moving on with her life and giving birth to David's child.
What I didn't like? The ending, yes. It's beautiful but the fact that Carrie gave birth to David's child is the reason I gave 4 stars. The entire book focuses so much on the friendship of Carrie and David, just the child doesn't sit right. There could have been a better alternative ending.

"Is it corny to say my heart feels like an eternal December with no April in sight?"
"You are the second half of my heart, nowadays."
