About this ebook

The moment she opened her eyes, she knew everything had changed. The stale taste of alcohol; her uneasy stomach. She looked at her husband sleeping peacefully, and knew she would never tell anyone what happened last night.

 

You will think you know what happened to Alicia that night.

 

You will see a desperate wife, lying to her husband.

 

You will watch a charming lover, trying to win her back.

 

You will judge her, just like everyone else.

 

You will assume you know what happens next. But everything you think you know about the past, the relationships, what drives Alicia and her husband to lie... is wrong.

 

If you loved The Girl on the Train, The Wife Between Us and The Sister, you’ll love this compelling and gripping psychological thriller from Sheryl Browne. The Affair will have you hooked from the very first page!

No idea why there are such rave reviews. There was very little psychological thrilling going on and more looking in on a marriage going wrong. The last maybe 6 chapters held my interest the previous 60 or so were tedious at best. Not the best book I have read.

A bit tedious. Had to skim some of it to get to the point. Good ideas but not executed as well as they could have been. Lots of repetitive thoughts and feelings. Not much of a thriller. Bit disappointing.

A good read but I did find it a bit slow and repetitive at the beginning. The characters not particularly likeable and too drawn out. The ending was good but it certainly was not a psycological thriller in my opinion
