This was confusing. Good. But confusing. I just felt like what I read didn't quite match up with what I was expecting having read the blurb.
There was what was in the blurb, but also a lot more focus on politics and less about what I thought would be a major cheating scandal and the fall out of that. So I feel like I kind of started on the wrong foot reading this when I was ready for a romantic drama with focus on the affair rather than this drama that was engaging but not necessarily what I would say was the focus.
I did really enjoy the writing style and flow. I found it engaging and fun to read and the pacing was great. However by the end chapter and epilogue it did slightly feel as if they had run out of words and needed to suddenly wrap everything up. There was a lot of plot twists and information at the end that you never really get to sit and take in before the book is finished.
Overall, although I did enjoy this once I got going, I felt confused at the plot when I started and the ending felt rushed.
Favourite Quote - I can be awfully naïve for such a practiced liar.
Favourite Character - Teddy
