"Great Book"
This book is every bit of good as Something Barrowed and Something Blue. Emily Giffith has again written an amazing story. Cynthia Nixon makes the book come alive and makes it so easy to listen to.
"Totally absorbed with the characters and story"
Bravo Emily Giffin. Tugged at my heart strings for both lead characters. I was totally enthralled with the book --- totally drawn in to the story line. The alternating voices between chapters worked beautifully. One of the few books I'm thinking of listening to again.
Double bravo to Cynthia Nixon for a brilliant read.
I hope Emily Giffin is working on her next book because I can't wait.
"Great reader makes the book live"
It is great to hear a professional actor reading this book. The life in the voice makes all the difference and keeps the story interesting and alive.
"Loved it!"
I really enjoyed the narration and how the story was told from the wife's point of view and the mistress. You could see both their sides. You will enjoy it.
"Cliched morality tale"
I found this book pretty darned conventional in its analysis of a marital affair populated by wooden characters and predictable outcomes. Thank god for the high minded wife. Not. Cynthia Nixon's reading is pretty good and I somehow managed to wade through to the end.
"Meh"
cheating, which is an old story + weak, boring characters = BORING story. Love every other Emily Giffin I have listened to. But not this one. Bought it to keep me awake on a long drive and all it did was put me to sleep. Flat could not care for any of the characters.
"Emily does it again"
Another great Emily Griffin book. This is my second read from her and each one is super! Looking forward to the next purchase.
"Great real life"
The story was very good with many lessons to be learned. It was just like real life except we usually mess it up.
"Loved it!"
This book was great! I really enjoyed the link to previous characters from past books.
"Great book with phenomenal insight"
I was totally amazed with the insight into infidelity in this book. The author does a superb job in portraying both the "other" woman and the wife perspectives. Although I am more familiar with being the wife, I thought that the author provided a comprehensive and realistic portrayal of both roles. A great listen. Well done!
