A review by condygurl
The Christine + Jake Affair by Morgan Parker
4.0
This was an interesting book. At times it was a little confusing, the texting goes between two people and each person's texts are on different sides of the screen. At one point all the texts were on one side, yet you could tell it was a dialogue between the two people. You just couldn't be sure who was saying what.
The book moved along at a steady pace. But in no way was this a page turner. The story is unique in that the Main character is really reading the texts between the two characters. I loved that aspect since it made it seem like a taboo to do so.
All in all, I give this story 3.5 stars. It was a quick read, but it didn't quite grab me or suck me in. It was unique so I have to give it the extra half star for that aspect. Since this Author is new to the market I expect more from him, and while I won't re-read this book, I may pick up the next one to see where he intends to go with the storyline.
I must add one little thing, I can actually relate to the story in a way, since I met and fell in love with my husband all online. Our love blossomed, and we've been together for 5 years now, and I can attest to the very real possibility of falling in love purely by texting or instant messaging.
