Gabby and Elliot are in their forties and happily married, with two daughters. But when Gabby goes on a girls' night out to a bar and meets Matt, a handsome man who pays attention to her the way her husband doesn't anymore, a brief affair ensues. However, this story is not about the sexual affair itself but the devastating aftermath for Gabby, Elliot, their daughters, and others touched by her actions. Author Green skillfully narrates with a distinct voice for each character. While her reading is not perfect, her thoughtful application of emphasis adds a great deal.
VERDICT Recommended for public libraries.
