I love when books surprise me. I picked this up on a whim after barely reading the synopsis and was very pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. A book on infidelity that felt refreshingly devoid of played-out drama - not in a boring way but in a way that felt nuanced. The ending felt a little bit rushed and was a little disappointing given how I loved the chapter before it. It would have been nice to see exactly how the end came to be. Overall though, a really great read.
