The Affair by Giana Darling

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


To say I was conflicted while reading Giana Darling’s, The Affair (The Evolution of Sin Trilogy, #1) is the biggest understatement in the history of the universe. I mean, a romance novel based around the concept of infidelity is bound to confound even the most open-minded readers. And from the opening page, the reader is smacked in the face with so many questions which to be honest, many don't have the answers to:

Smack. Does love at first sight exist?
Smack. Can infidelity be justified if it does?
Smack. Is blood thicker than water?

Yeah, I’m exhausted just thinking about it.

Though, that’s not to say the book itself isn’t well written. Generally speaking, it is. The characterisation of both MC’s is well thought out. There are glimpses of ridiculously complex personalities which make learning more about these individuals imperative for the reader. And the sex… Sweet baby Jesus. I’m blushing just thinking about it. However, there are a gazillion adverbs littered within the pages which threw me out of the story at times, and, like I said before, this book seriously messed with my moral compass. To be honest, I think most people would experience the same issue. Reckon you’re any different? I doubt it. But hey, I’m willing to stand corrected.

Go on, I dare you.
