Sally's whole life begins to fall apart around her, she watches Clive and his family via the Internet, friending his wife and daughter on Facebook and 'accidentally' bumping into his son. There is an air of desperation around Sally - she can't see a life without Clive and can't understand why he no longer wants anything to do with her - didn't he tell her he loved her? Didn't they spend many many hours in nondescript hotel rooms? This book is fantastic. Not only was the story gripping but the characters were so alive and well rounded. I believed every word Ms Cohen wrote. It starts with a casual stroll past his house, and popping into the brasserie where his son works. Then Sally befriends Clive's wife and daughter on Facebook. But that's all right, isn't it? I mean, they are perfectly normal things to do. Aren't they? The story is narrated by Sally - it's a rambling narrative and she is speaking directly to Clive, her ex-lover. Sally and Clive have been having an affair for five years, he's married and a TV presenter, she lives with her long-term partner Daniel and their two children.

While we rarely hear of a woman breaking off an affair, men suddenly seem to have a need to clear their conscience and appear to have no problem ending an affair. Maybe it is the need to clear their lives of clutter to be free to engage in other affairs. This seems to be Clive’s pattern. The question of does the person breaking off the relationship ever take the time to think of how it will affect the other person who has invested so much of themselves? This book brings to light not only the “upside” if you will, but also the downside of affairs. It’s one method of getting closure for yourself; you could express all your angry feelings in the letter to his mistress. This would make her understand the gravity of what she has done. Don’t forget to tag her and all her mutual friends. 21. If she was your friend, she’s dead to you I didn't expect to enjoy this book as much as I have. Her use of metaphor is very entertaining, especially when describing the sex scenes. It's refreshing to read her less than flattering descriptions of her encounters. Her metaphors are overdone, but for some reason, in this case, it works. It so mirrors Sally's state of mind.For five years, Sally and Clive have been lost in a passionate affair. Now he has dumped her, to devote himself to his wife and family, and Sally is left in freefall. Social media has become one of the most powerful communication tools, but it can also build or break a person’s image. If you know her profile name on any social media platforms, calling his mistress out could destroy the picture people have of her and ruin the relationships she has built. They are likely to do the confrontation for you; some crazy friends may even send her abusive messages or do something else to make her feel bad. Most importantly, they will be there to defend and protect you if the need arises. 16.

Don’t get caught Written in journal form (first-person) this was difficult to get into at first because since it's from Sally's point of view and Sally is literally going insane and you can't help but want to slap some sense into her it's a bit rough going at first. At least it was for me.
