“after she discovers that her husband has been cheating on her. Hurt and betrayed, she seeks answers, which her husband, out of shame and guilt, refuses to give her. So she decides to seek answers elsewhere, from someone else, and who better than to get them from the very person who had told her about the affair in the first place? The chains of events that occur after the heroine meets David Lawrence, the other woman's husband, are flooring and poignant.
Dickey has created an intelligent, thought-provoking and at
The Other Woman is the gripping tale that chronicles the life of the nameless heroine times erotic modern tale of love, betrayal and trust. The way things unfold in this story is wonderful. We are shown these things and not told about them, something I always seek in well-written books. The author emphasizes things that you know will be important later on in the story, but that makes things far from predictable. You discover something from one of the characters in almost every chapter, and you can't put the book down. I like the erotica in this novel as well. The sex is not too in-your-face, at least not compared to other stuff I've read, but they're very sexy and sometimes explicit nevertheless. The one negative thing -- if you can call it that -- about this novel is Yvette. I thought she was the typical cliché uninhibited, fast-mouth friend. Other than that, I loved everything about The Other Woman. The heroine has a clear, concise voice, and you grow to love the nameless career woman with a penchant for classic sports cars. Give this a whirl. You won't regret it.
