Evidence of the Affair by Taylor Jenkins Reid is a 2018 Amazon Original Stories publication. Beginning in 1976, a written correspondence commences between the wife and husband whose spouses are having an affair with one another. The epistolary story evolves from here to also include the letters exchanged by their spouses, revealing their thoughts and feelings as they continue with their marriages as though nothing was going on. This a very short story, but packs a powerful, poignant, and emotion...
My second book of Reid. But loved it as much as I loved The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. As soon as I saw it in my news feed, got it downloaded and read within the last half hour. This is the story about a women who after losing everything gains everything and in the process discovers her true identity. Hitting rock bottom sometimes acts as the U-turn giving you a new happy life rather than the useless one you were holding on to just because you didn't have enough courage to let go. Don't sett...
This was an engaging novella which takes place in the late 70's in California. Two people who are married are having an affair.

Carrie doesn't work because Ken says he wants her to relax so that she can get pregnant. They have been trying for quite some time, without success. Eventually, Carrie decides to write to David, the husband of Janet. She tell...
I am stunned. This short story was brilliant. Powerful. Gripping. 87 pages. That's all it took to make me love the characters, to make me cry (more than once!) and to make me root for David and Carrie with all my heart. I'm in awe with how TJR made me feel so many strong emotions. ''Lately, it feels like my whole life has a similar feeling to when you check the clock on a Saturday and realise it's already half past four.'' The whole book is written through letters, but don't let that stop you:...
WOW! Outstanding short story! I listened to this Audible book on my morning walk. What an enjoyment!This is one of the BEST short stories I've listened to. The story is cleverly told in letters. I think only Taylor Jenkins Reid can pull this style off! So much feeling packed into this little story! I'm a little late on this treasure but "better late than never."I loved the narration as well. It was perfection and part of it was narrated by a personal favourite- Julie Whelan. To my pleasant surp...
Touching short story set in the 70's about two people (Carrie and David) who correspond through letters after they discover that their spouses (Ken and Janet) are cheating on them with each other. The entire story is told through letters. I sort of hoped some things would have turned out differently at the end of the story, though, so I was a bit disappointed. (view spoiler)[I didn't like how David stayed with his wife Janet. And everything wasn't really resolved at the end of the book. (hide sp...
