She Did What She Had To Do

Angela Henry does it again. The way I detested Aaron from the beginning to the end of this book. He was so damn obtuse and downright stupid when it came to Cara and her shenanigans. I really wanted Paige to take the kids and leave Aaron to navigate the mess he created and suffer on his own. I completely understand Paige’s position as a mother and wife and why she did what she did. The twists and turns were quite pleasing. An amazing excellent story.

WTH??? Spoilers

This story is written in a strange way. It goes back and forth between dates and times in the recent past, future and further past.

There are too many story lines and coincidences to make sense. Then the ending reveals things that was not needed or was just thrown in to make the story longer.

Aaron and Paige made some really strange decisions that didn’t make sense. Why is he braking into his office after being fired? Why is she looking for Karra’s father who left the nursing home?? Ugh, it just seems weird to me.

Amazing

Do yourself a favor and get this book! I am looking forward to more from this author.

GREAT BOOK! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Oooh, wow! There were so many twists and secrets revealed in this book that my head started to spin. I could not put this book down, and I enjoyed the rollercoaster ride as secret after secret was revealed and twist after twist took place. I would highly recommend this book to others! Put it at the top of your TBR pile!

Paige recently quit her job to pursue another passion and hopefully strengthen the bond between her and her husband, Aaron. Only Aaron has fallen hard for his fellow coworker, Cara, and despite the effect it's having on his family, he just can't seem to resist her. Unfortunately, Cara isn't at all who she pretends to be, and she's pushed someone a little too far because now, she's nowhere to be found. In the search to find where she is, so much is brought to light.

Thrilling and hooked.

The beginning and middle really hook you in and you're on the edge of your seat not wanting to stop listening. I wad slightly disappointed in the ending, I feel the thrill with less the before. I also thought the "perfect affair" would last a little longer then it did. But other then this it was good!

Ehhh, maybe i should have read the physical copy

The Perfect Affair was my first Angela Henry book, and while the premise was intriguing, the story fell a bit short for me. I enjoyed the dual timeline, but it was sometimes confusing to follow, especially with the numerous twists and shifts in time and perspective. The plot is designed to keep you guessing about who did the murdering, but the execution made it challenging to keep track of the who, the what, and the why.

One of the biggest challenges was having just one narrator for the audiobook. It became difficult to distinguish between the different viewpoints, which took away from the overall experience. I believe having multiple narrators would have significantly improved the listening experience.

The enjoyment

Thus narrator has me hooked. The story was entertaining and very enjoyable. Warm and twisty.

TOO CONVOLUTED and hard to follow

I really tried to listed to the whole book. BUT - nope gave up over 1/2 way through.
