I just finished reading a book (fiction) that dealt really well with the slippery slope leading to an affair with serious consequences. I wanted to share this book suggestion with anyone who was interested.

 

The genre is literary fiction, kind of a legal thriller, if you enjoying reading that type of fiction.

 

Let me preface with saying, it was a difficult read. I'm pretty well healed from my husband's infidelity but let me tell you, it really made me think and it did actually trigger me to some extent.

 

I will also admit that I am a bit of a glutton for punishment for this type of thing. I have worked hard to desensitize myself as much as I can to infidelity by seeking out movies, shows, books, with infidelity as at least one of the sub-plots.

 

Anyway, if you're interested in the book, please PM me and I will provide the title and author information. Again, this is a fictional book, not a recovering your marriage from infidelity type of book, and probably not for the faint of heart or newly betrayed.

 

I also thought we could start some type of "LS Book Club" via PM (or open forum) as a way to discuss this book and I bet if you read the book, you will want to discuss it with someone who has experienced infidelity IRL. I'm dying to discuss the book with somebody. It made me look at my H a little differently for a bit.

Post the title and information? It almost sounds like spam... Sorry if this seems rude.

I am not sure that is with the TOS of LS to post something like that because then it seems like advertising.

 

I've been around LS for a long time. I would think I appear legit?

I've recommended "Not Just Friends" here by Dr. Shirley Glass here for years, without any negative fallout.

 

We also had a thread in here a while back about movies dealing with infidelity, so I think a book thread is a great idea, SF.:)

You're right. Book suggestions have been openly discussed on here before. I just didn't want to get the thread removed for seemingly trying to advertise/promote something.

 

I'll just throw it out there then (and hope for the best), Tell No Lies by Julie Compton.

 

Has anyone read it? I would love to discuss it, I really would!

I've not heard of it, but I do enjoy legal thrillers-I think I've read everything Grisham ever wrote...

 

I would also enjoy the complexity in the story that you spoke of--even if it might be triggering.

It reminded me a bit of The Firm in some aspects. I think you would really like this story then.

Hi Snowflower it's been a while. Nice to see you again.:)

 

The books that have really helped since my latest DDay are Not Just Friends, How to Help Your Spouse Heal After An Affair, and the 5 Love Languages.

 

All have helped me a great deal in understanding not only my A, but my H's too.

I'll download it today and as I speed read should have something to contribute about the book soon, unless the sun is shining, in which case it will take second place to sitting on a bench, by the beach with H sharing a bag of chips - now that would be a good book title.

Sounds like the best story, ever, Seren. :)
