Slip of the Tongue
by Jessica Hawkins
Oy. Not sure if it’s 2.5 stars or 3. I was entertained and read it quickly. But…
Sadie is the worst. She cheated on her husband because he acted strangely for TWO MONTHS after being a great husband for 7 years!? Like, wow. She also refused to confront her husband and also refused to spy on him. So she justified the cheating by not getting any info from her husband— seems to me like she just wanted to cheat.
Then her husband seems to immediately forgive her. Really? I don’t believe it. There was no epilogue set in the future. Without some marriage counseling to help with their horrible communication issues IMO they are doomed. Plus, I think the husband will eventually have bitterness bubble up over her affair if they just sweep it under the rug.
Also, the author kept throwing up subtle red flags for the neighbor, but nothing happened? I was waiting for those to add up to something, but… nothing.
So, not a horrible book but not a satisfying HEA for me.
