I loved that Caroline didn't dwell on Adam's sexuality. At the same time, that individual still had an affair. You want to be angry, but at the same time, you don't want to stifle their courage to be who they really are. As a society trying to be more accepting of the LGBT community, I think it is hard for some people to be angry with someone who has an affair with someone of the same sex. I think Chase portrays wonderfully the struggles Caroline goes through dealing with Adam's affair. I think this story is unique because we, of course, see the cheating, but we also see the LGBT elements as well. Caroline shows an array of emotions from betrayal to anger as she learns of her husband's infidelity and probable bisexuality. They were each other's one and only, or so Caroline thought. This development forces her to look at their entire marriage, starting when they were high school sweethearts, their relationship starting back when they were in their senior year of high school. Pretty much at the very beginning of the book, Caroline finds out her husband has been having an affair with a man. Ok, so let's start with the story itself. And I loved that it was a contemporary I just didn't want to put down! This book was phenomenal! The writing was spot-on, and I loved the voice that the main character, Caroline, had in the story.
