Gosh what do I say about the book. First I have to say I have no problem reading about infidelity in books. I know some people do but I really don't. That being said I was super uncomfortable during large portions of this book. You know, that tight feeling you get in your stomach when you see someone is going to make a bad decisions and you can't stop her from doing it. Sometimes it was often painful. In my brain I would say don't do it Sadie. Be strong.
So quick run down. You have a husband and wife who have always had this amazing relationship until recently when the husband has suddenly gone cold. Enter hot neighbor who is happy to fill the void. So many decisions come into play. You have one guy pushing you away while the other is giving you everything you need.
I think my biggest problem with Sadie, which along the way made me not to fond of her, was her utter selfishness. As I was reading her I kept thinking good god the first time you have problems in your marriage you go off and cheat. All relationships have good and bad times but most people keep working at it. Granted I will say she tried for a while. And Nathan's lack of communication definitely ended up being a driving force in her bad decisions. But still I felt like she just needed to be the center of someone's world and if her husband wouldn't make her that she'd allow someone else.
I do want to say while I had problems with Sadie's character (I mean her moral character) the story is well written. The author kept me interested and engaged throughout the entire book.
