Resumen del Editor

Written in Lauren K. Denton’s signature Southern style, The One You’re With tells the story of a seemingly perfect marriage rocked by secrets from the past.

High-school sweethearts Mac and Edie Swan lead a seemingly picture-perfect life in the sleepy-sweet community of Oak Hill, near Mobile, Alabama. Edie is a respected interior designer, Mac is a beloved pediatrician, and they have two great kids and a historic home on tree-lined Linden Avenue. From the outside, the Swan family is the definition of “the good life.” And life is good—mostly. Until a young woman walks into Mac’s office one day. A young woman whose very existence threatens all Mac and Edie have built and all they think they know about each other.

Nineteen years after a summer apart, with a family and established lives and careers, the past that Mac and Edie thought they left behind has come back to greet them. For the first time, constants in their lives are called into question: their roles as parents, their reputation as upstanding members of the community, and the very foundations of their marriage. As they wade through the upheaval in both their family and professional lives, they must each examine choices they made long ago and chart a new course for their future.

Good listen

Good story. I was troubled by the offense caused by a very short hook-up that had occurred the summer after high-school graduation AFTER both teens had broken up and gone their separate ways briefly. Give the guy a break, drama queen. Kind of stuff for daytimetalk shows (w/o the foul language).

love conquerers All!

loved the story !The narrators voice is soothing bringing you into the story .Hard to stop listening yet not wanting it to end.

Enjoyable

Performed well, the reader was enjoyable and not annoying. Decent story. I slow the playing speed a bit so I don’t feel like I’m stressing to hear every word.

Loved it!

Well written and thoughtful story about the complications of marriage and friendships. The narrator made the story come to life- excellent!

Riveting!

I loved this book. It’s “real talk” about a very real marriage and the (extreme and not so extreme) bump and rides which naturally comes with marriage. I also loved Edie’s professional pursuits and the individual growth of all the characters. Read it!

Best Thus Far

Loved it. Serious considerstion to the path chosen vs what if - was refreshing, because its not depicted often. This was really good

Loved this book!

When I'm reading or listening to a book I can imagine myself being able to feel what the characters are going through. I hope this book was made into a movie! Thank you Lauren K. Denton and thank you to the narrator Caroline Hewitt.

Great storyline!

Interesting story like I have never read before! I felt it ended rather abruptly but am thinking maybe it could continue in another book!

Phony

The wife’s accusation about her husband of lying and being unfaithful about an affair that took place before they were married was not believable. The amount of the book that was taken up with that phony perspective significantly reduced the enjoyment of the story and the book.

Great narration!

I don’t usually write reviews. The story however was narrated so brilliantly I had to write one. There were times where I felt like crying because I could feel the emotion in the characters’ voices. The fact that the story was also a good one just made it even better. Highly recommend!
