Loved this novella, I started it yesterday on the way to lunch and between real life and my reading escapes I stayed up until 1 am to finish it! Though I cannot personally relate to Lily's story, I felt like I was right there with her going through all the emotions: shock, betrayal, anger, hurt, humiliation, hate, revenge. And now a bit about the story...Lily has accidentally walked in on her husband enjoying himself in the shower, just as she is about to join him she realizes he isn't alone, Kate - their neighbor - is in the shower with him. She escapes before they see her. Now what is she supposed to do? She has dedicated her life to her family, after falling for Charlie in college, they married and she never worked. After going to place after place she is having no luck finding a job. Then her husband has to go out of town for "business", except he is just the next town over in a hotel with Kate. She can't believe this... As she explores her options she gets a little in over her head and can't believe the choices she is going to make for her family.Favorite passages:- That rotten bastard had let his dick ruin our family, and I was going to cut it off and stick it in my neighbor’s mailbox for her to keep.- I’d watched enough television shows on crime to know exactly how to make that mother f***er suffer.- Where is the handsome man in the butter commercials that’s going to swoop in and make me forget all about Mr. Shit Stains?- “No man is worth the pain you’re putting yourself through. Don’t wither away because of someone who is beneath you.”- “Good. Come pick me up.” “I need to get dressed.” “Friends can pick each other up naked,” he teased.- “You sound too good to be true, Frankie. Do you have a suit of armor and ride a white unicorn as well?”
