Narrated by Amanda Ronconi

This was a funny, poignant, touching and sorta scathing look at a woman scorned and how she gets even. Lacey Terwilliger’s 7 year marriage is suddenly threatened when she realizes her over-worked husband was actually working-over his secretary. To get revenge, she sends out an email describing the entire sordid affair, under the guise of his monthly company newsletter. And then the shit hits the fan…

Written as a sort of women’s fic/chicklit/almost romance, in first person, Lacey gives us the blow-by-blow as she slowly falls apart and then picks up the pieces and moves on with her life. Spending time at her remote cabin, a new tenant next door is the curmudgeonly crime writer who helps Lacey make sense of what she is and what she wants.

Narrator Amanda Ronconi gives it a wonderful accent – snarky, funny, and bittersweet, as she speaks for Lacey while going through the trauma of adultery and the joy of finding herself again. Oh, it isn’t really that deep, but it’s not totally shallow either. The ending is happy – but it’s not a Happily Ever After, more like a Let’s See where it goes. I liked it!
