This was a great travel book/memoir, actually written like a novel. I enjoyed the way it was written in the third person singular "you". I don't think I've ever read a story written in this format, so it was a unique enjoyable first experience. I read it in one day, really enjoying it, but the end did get sad, I felt sorry for the author. Her affair was exciting for a while, but unfortunately....... you must read it to find out!

I read the book but found it upsetting. He is cheating on his wife and she seems so desparate. Not really worth the read.

I couldn't get past the book being written in the third person singular. And I'm glad I couldn't, honestly. Once I realized I wasn't going to put the effort into wading through a difficult point of view, I read some reviews on the novel. If I'd know the book was about a confused, late-30's woman who has an affair with a married man and dismisses her actions casually, I wouldn't have wasted a credit on it. But since I didn't make it past the first chapter, I can't really write much of a review on it. It's a miss, in my opinion.
