“The great thing about falling in love with a woman you met online is being able to go back and pinpoint the exact moment it happened. It started out innocently enough…”
At 33 years old, my life ran mostly on autopilot. I had an attractive wife, a healthy son, a new house in the suburbs, new cars in the driveway, and a relatively low-stress job that kept it all running like clockwork. It was a comfortable existence, but it was an unchallenging existence.
That’s when I met @HawkeyeRachael, seemingly out of nowhere on Twitter. She was smart, funny, attractive, and everything she said was interesting. She was married, with two kids of her own, and she lived 600 miles away in Dayton, Ohio. It seemed harmless enough.
But when an unlikely layover led to drinks in an airport bar, it was love at first sight. Before I knew it, we were flying all over the country to see each other. The next 18 months would be the most passionate and confusing period of our entire lives as the costs of our addiction continued to mount.
This memoir is not the glorification of adultery. It’s not an erotic novel, though it has its moments. It’s a story of two people who found love in the shadows of an affair, and the consequences they faced as they try to make that impossible transition from their web of lies to happily ever after.
If you’ve ever found yourself in love with the right person at the wrong time, you will relate to @dultery.

5 stars.
i loved this book -- it was fresh, raw... REAL. my heart goes out to this man & his family.
i FELT this book... because i know what it's like to feel what the author feels & my heart broke for him in the end -- mostly because i know that he won't ever completely get over that love OR let it go. sure, he will forgive and move on... be happy with someone else -- but the heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure.
all of that being said -- the author is an incredibly flawed man who has a lot of work to do... and he knows it! & it is clear from the book that he is FINALLY ready to work on it and i am actually excited for his future growth!
all of THAT being said... divorce isn't a bad thing in this situation at all. in fact, it is probably the best thing that could've happened to both the author & his spouse -- remember, infidelity is always a symptom of a bad, unfulfilling marriage that is missing something (even if you sometimes don't know what it is until you meet that something, quite literally). so i'm sure both the author and his spouse will be better off with someone else.
overall, it is a refreshing & interesting read... you don't get to read about the married man's point of view too often. looking forward to reading more from this author!

It was an interesting read but i was dumbfounded at the naivete of the author.
Apart from his last name he is certainly no Einstein. If this is the way generation x approaches life then God help us.
