Publisher's summary

The repercussions of an illicit affair unfold in this short story by bestselling author Taylor Jenkins Reid.

Dear stranger…

A desperate young woman in Southern California sits down to write a letter to a man she’s never met - a choice that will forever change both their lives.

My heart goes out to you, David. Even though I do not know you…

The correspondence between Carrie Allsop and David Mayer reveals, piece by piece, the painful details of a devastating affair between their spouses. With each commiserating scratch of the pen, they confess their fears and bare their souls. They share the bewilderment over how things went so wrong and come to wonder where to go from here.

Told entirely through the letters of two comforting strangers and those of two illicit lovers, Evidence of the Affair explores the complex nature of the heart. And ultimately, for one woman, how liberating it can be when it’s broken.

Amazing

This book is an amazing tale of love, loss, and liberation. So much of what Carrie talks about are reflections of how I felt in my own loveless marriage. It's a story that will resonate with anyone who has found themselves through heartbreak.

Short but oh so sweet

Just use a credit. Don’t read the description or the reviews. You want to know nothing going in. The raw emotion and the build up to the climax makes this short book worth a lot more time and money than I invested.

Marvelous performance and story

I absolutely loved this recording. The voices were perfect for the pictures in my head. A lyrical journey through the struggles of discovering a spouses affair and the decision to stay or go. Recommend.

Wow!

I've listened to a hundred audio books and never written a review until this gem. I purchased this for a 2 hour drive and was immediately engrossed in it. I very much enjoyed this Real life short story told through letters.
