“You must know we could never be a one-time thing. We are once-in-a-lifetime paramours.”
I read this novel with very little idea that this is going to be about cheating. Still, I was fucking heartbroken every time I read a letter from Ken or Janet. Most especially the line above. It fucking hurts from the perspective of Carrie to read it while not breaking down. Imagine loving and devoting your whole self to your husband only to find out that he has been lying to you?
"Leave him. I will leave Carrie in a heartbeat. She is not you, has not meant to me in ten years what you have come to mean to me in a matter of months."
I wanted to enter into my Kindle and just slap the heck out of Ken. What a fucking asshole. I cried the most upon reading that. I cannot imagine the betrayal.
Let's talk about that ending though.
Of course I saw it coming, the correspondence between Carrie and David indicated that there is going to be ~more of them. I just didn't expect her last letter though? Taylor Jenkins Reid, you are a gem.
I wanted to read more of the characters after but at the same time I am very satisfied with the way it ends. It leaves the reader the power to think of what will happen :)
