Carly had thought they’d always live there. The beautiful Cornish cliffside house they’d taken on as a wreck, that Mark had obsessively redesigned and renovated - a project that had made him famous. It was where they’d raised their children, where they’d sat cozily on the sofa, watching storms raging over the sea below. It was where they’d promised to keep each other’s secrets. Until now. Because Mark has fallen in love. With someone he definitely shouldn’t have. Someone who isn’t Carly. And suddenly their family home doesn’t feel like so much of a safe haven.

You're not who you say you are. Neither is she. She thinks she knows me. She believes my marriage is falling apart at the seams, that my husband can barely look me in the eyes. She thinks I’m desperate for a baby, that my longing for a family keeps me up at night. As much as I hate to admit it, all of this is true. She thinks I listen to her advice, that I care about her opinion. That couldn’t be further from the truth. Because she has no idea who I am. She has no clue that I know everything. I know her secret. I know that she did the unforgivable. I know how many lives she ruined.

The white-washed Italian villa is perfect. I thought it might feel odd, living in a stranger’s house for the summer, but as my husband and children swim in the infinity pool, I start to relax. And then, in the back of a wardrobe, I find something that shatters everything.... Sparkling green eyes, square jaw, lopsided smile. A young man with his arm around a beautiful woman. The picture is old and faded, but I’d recognize him anywhere. The man is my husband.

I didn’t realize the perfect day would turn into the perfect nightmare. I was so excited to send out the wedding invitations, carefully writing everyone’s names on thick cream paper in beautiful cursive script. I had no idea I was inviting someone to destroy our marriage.

I thought my sister was happy. I thought what we all thought: that Annie and Dom led perfect lives in a lovely cottage in a quiet village by the sea, with flowers at the front gate and an apple tree in the garden. Everyone knew them: generous, loving Dom, creative, joyful Annie. But I never saw Annie as she sat waiting for Dom well into the night. I didn’t see her smiling through her tears. I didn’t know what the perfect couple was hiding.

Summary
My husband has been keeping secrets for a long time. He thinks I don’t know what he does outside of this house. But I know everything....
Karla watches silently as Jason hurriedly packs his belongings into a suitcase. She knows that her stillness is unnerving him as she watches his every move from the doorway of their bedroom.
Clothes are screwed up and packed into the case, along with a watch she bought him for his last birthday and his precious laptop. He takes everything from his bedside table. Everything except the framed wedding photo, which now stands alone. Karla strains to see the smiling faces in the photo. If only she knew then what she knows now.
"I’ve fallen in love with someone else", he’d said to her, just moments earlier. The brutality of those words hit Karla hard and she struggled to breathe as she took in each word in turn.
You may think you know what Karla will do next. But you’ll be wrong. Because Karla isn't who you think she is. Only she knows what's about to happen. And you will never see it coming.
An absolutely gripping psychological thriller for listeners who loved The Girl on the Train, Gone Girl, and The Other Woman.

Don’t bother
One of the worst books I have ever read or listened to and very frustrating! The premise of the book is not bad but it is poorly executed; the so called “secret” is revealed too soon and from then on the plot line is plodding, unnecessary and irrelevant with with characters that are unconvincing and unbelievable given the situation the characters find themselves in. The ending is also poor. And the plot twist isn’t a twist at all - it simply doesn’t make sense. I was left almost scratching my head saying “really?!” The references to #metoo are lazy, crass and are not dealt with with the care and sensitivity it needs.
Re-written and re-configured, this could be a reasonable “thriller” dealing with some important issues but as it is, don’t bother.

Awful
If I had to describe this book in three words I would say: boring, repetitive and irritating. There is a secret (that we as the reader learn very early on) that means a married couple can't stay together. 95% of the book is the couple (from each of their perspectives) ruminating on the break up and going through the same boring thought processes over and over again. Flat, dull, unrealistic characters. And then it ends in the most ridiculous way imaginable. Worst book I've read it a long time.

Overlong and based on one storyline
The narration was excellent. The story started well and was promising. However several sections were much too overlong when they would have been more exciting if shortened this was especially true of Carlas taking to drinking and nightclubbing. I felt that this behaviour of the character was also unbelievable and didn’t fit the rest of the persona.
The ending was obvious from the early chapters and the secrets could have been revealed sooner and one by one. The Affair was much better

Too much overdone drama and angst
Every page was another page of various characters agonizing over their HORRIBLE PLIGHTS. It got to the point of humorous as they went from extreme self blame to extreme anxiety to extreme belligerence to extreme sorrow. The narrator had to be exhausted after having to express all that constant high emotion.

Yawn
I love psychological, suspense books. However, this one lost my interest so many times while listening. I got confused about the back-and-forth storyline and what was happening. I also had no sympathy for the protagonist, I actually very much disliked her. All of that said, I’ve never rated a buck this low, ever! But, had to do a truthful feedback so others may not spend their credit/money on it. So sad.
