It’s not often that I can’t finish a book. I listen to all different kinds and usually get addicted to a plot even if the writing isn’t the best, I need to know what happens. To be clear, not that I condone it, but it’s not the cheating that ruined it for me; It was the character development of two people I couldn’t admire at all. I’m open to humans doing what we do making choices that aren’t always good ones, but when the lead female in this book holds double standards and can’t be rational.. I lose touch. I understand the needs, that get ignored in a marriage, lead to fulfilling them from others. But she is supposedly a good wife stuck in a loveless marriage but she jumps right in with a second phone to hide her tracks and secret “meetings” minutes before sitting through a session with husband and lover therapist. That’s a bit 0 to 60 for me. I don’t get how a therapist could jump in the way it was portrayed in this book nor how the lead immediately gets irrational expectations of the therapist she is screwing. She’s too much and I couldn’t finish the book because of it. I would have liked the story better if the therapist was helping her to see her value and make the right choices to leave her husband for what everyone deserves from a marriage, but instead he continues to be their marriage counselor while holding a relationship with the wife. And the wife isn’t capable of communicating feelings with a therapist?.. I would expect her to be as open as possible with someone that is trained to give advice, but nope, she can’t communicate with either dude and we as the readers have to hear all her thoughts she can’t express, but really needs to. I realized I didn’t care for either character too early in the book and I had a hard time listening to the narcissistic mess. I wish I could get my credit back from this one. It wasn’t the fault of the readers though, they were fine, it was the writing that rubbed me wrong.
