Adultery for Beginners

by Sarah Duncan

Isabel and Neil are old marrieds. Suburban old marrieds, at that. While the routine that's as comfortable as an old shoe seems to suit Neil just fine, Isabel--professional wife and mother and one the nicest women in the line at school pick-up--is restless. Tired of being just "Neil's wife" or "Michael's mommy", she takes a part-time job working for the disorganized but devastatingly attractive Patrick, only to find herself drawn to him. Despite telling herself to think of her husband and children, Isabel finds herself doing the unthinkable, and plunging into a world of conflicting loyalties, desires and responsibilities.

WHIRLWIND READ

I just finished this book and I loved it. At first I disliked Isabel for initiating the affair with Patrick while her seemingly sweet husband was clueless about it. The portion of the affair is written in a fast, tantalizing pace. By the end of the book, you look at Isabel, Patrick and Neil in a totally different light. What will Isabel do? Find out and read the book!

Great Read

This book is now one of my favorites, it is very real and you can't seem to put it down. The twist toward the end is great, and you can't help but smile at the end of the book. It is very easy to put yourself in Isabel's place, and you just want to see her happy. This is a great book and I recomend it to everyone...especially wives and stay-at-home moms.
