The Affair

Affair, Book 1

De: Colette Freedman

Narrado por: Callie Beaulieu

After 18 years of marriage, Kathy Walker has settled into a pattern of comfortable routines-ferrying her two teenagers between soccer practice and piano lessons, running a film production business with her husband, Robert, and taking care of the beautiful Boston home they share. Then one day, Kathy discovers a suspicious number on her husband's phone. Six years before, Kathy accused Robert of infidelity - a charge he vehemently denied - and almost destroyed their marriage in the process.

Now Kathy must decide whether to follow her suspicions at the risk of losing everything, or trust the man with whom she's entwined her past, present, and future. As she grapples with that choice, she is confronted with surprising truths not just about her relationship, but about her friends, family, and her own motivations.

Skillfully crafted and deeply insightful, The Affair sensitively explores the complexities of love and the challenge of ever knowing another person fully, even as we endeavor to understand our own deepest longings.

Mostly good

It kept my attention just enough to not give up. It is a little slow. Read the description carefully. This book is about the details of an affair. Only the last 15 min were insightful.

It was honest

I thought this was a very honest portrayal from all three sides. People who complain that it’s the same story over and over, partly, but it’s also from another person‘s point of view so you really have to listen. I don’t know what they were expecting an entirely different story? That wouldn’t make much sense. It was truthful and well acted with the exception of the narrator(whom my love)trying to do an Irish accent. Don’t. Just don’t. Other than that it was great.

Excellent

This book is very raw, real and so true. I hope the second book comes out in audio too!!! It encompasses all 3 sides of an affair so you truly understand each persons point of view. Really eye opening!! Definitely worth a credit!!

Well told…

Well written and told by each persons point of view. I read this a few years back. I didn’t remember the ending. I read the fallowing book too, but i won’t pay to read it.

Perspective

Interesting turn of events and I enjoyed how the author built characters. This book kept me engaged and entertained

Repeats over and over

Thought I was losing it. The SAME story is told 3 times. Different people, but it’s verbatim! No big reveal at the end. Do not recommend .

Same story read over and over

The book tried to give different perspective of each character BUT it was literally the same story re-read 3 different times...after book is finished, no need to complete the story

I thought I was loosing my mind 😬😬😬😬

It took me a second to realize the story was on repeat through 3 different perspectives. At this point I was a little pissed. Some of the details could have been left out I don’t care to try and visualize the way someone’s condo or damn Christmas tree looks. This story didn’t need to last as long as it did.

Repeat

3 people reading the same story. Kept waiting for it to get better. It did not.

It’s like listening to the same story 3x

You would think that this usually clever writing style which gives the stories point of view from each character would keep the excitement going.... but no..... it was like the same story 3x.... no different...so boring and disappointing.
