Clean Slate

An Audible Original Novella

De: Zoë Foster Blake

Narrado por: Stephen Curry

If you both cheat, does that cancel the infidelity out altogether? Can you just wipe the slate clean?

Cam and Holly have a picture-perfect marriage and life: a beautiful house in the suburbs and two adorable little boys. Cam has sold his successful marketing agency to look after the boys while Holly goes full throttle on her career post-maternity leave, and everything’s peachy.

‘Til Cam discovers Holly has been having an affair with a colleague.

Heartbroken but pragmatic, Cam sees the situation as an opportunity to confess his own infidelity with his 21-year-old assistant. His thinking being a dual-infidelity situation means they cancel each other out...and their marriage will simply bounce back, and they’ll fall in love all over again. But a tangled web of lies and buried resentments makes starting over harder than he thought.

Zoë Foster Blake has written a provocative novella that rips off the glossy cling-wrap of being successful and married with young children. Clean Slate is narrated from the husband’s perspective and will invite listeners to rethink infidelity and how it can creep into a marriage.

Zoë Foster Blake is the author of 10 books, so you’d think she’d be capable of a sassier bio, frankly.

She has written four adult fiction novels, Air Kisses, Playing the Field, The Younger Man and The Wrong Girl, which was adapted into a Channel 10 network television series, four non-fiction titles, Textbook Romance, Amazinger Face, Break-Up Boss and LOVE!, and two children’s picture books, the award-winning No One Likes a Fart and soon-to-be released Back to Sleep. She is also the founder of the Australian skin care company Go-To.

Zoë lives in Melbourne with her husband and two children, who kindly let her make porridge each morning for them.

Clean Slate is her first Audible Original.

Waste of Time!

This is NOT narrated by Stephen Curry, the basketball player which is what is being marketed. I fast forwarded throughout the book in different chapters to make sure that Stephen Curry was somewhere narrating but it wasn't so.

Did not want this to end!

I loved this book! I did not want it to end and couldn’t stop listening! Such an awesome portrayal of a relationship and beautifully written!

Are you kidding me?

How can you possibly feel good about this book after the ending? I truly feel betrayed. 😪

Excellent grasp of a lot of marriages

With or without an affair this story resonated on so many levels! The unsatisfactory ending was perfect because life - especially when it comes to marriage - doesn’t always have a satisfactory end! Stephen Curry’s narration was excellent and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Obviously an American who left the other review about Curry! Because it’s always about Americans! 🤦🏻‍♀️🙄😂

Why is this recommended for me?

Audible making me listen to this dribble without my prompting is almost enough to make me rage quit. It reminds me of those terrible 80s Australian dramas. Just yuck.

Didn't expect this to be so good

Good storytelling and a great performance makes this short story well worth the listen. It deals with infidelity, so if you're going through a breakup, or have a cheating partner it could be triggering.
