The first Amazon Originals book I decided to read: Evidence of the Affair. I loved Taylor Jenkins Reid’s Evelyn Hugo novel, so I expected to like this short story as well.

all my thoughts
- I was disappointed with the slow pace early on.
- I totally read the spoilers for this.
- Ultimately, the story is interesting and not unlike something you’d see on early 2000s Lifetime Movie Network, when it was good. Following along with the audiobook was worth it, although I definitely could have lived without reading it. This is the type of the short story that isn’t life-changing or anything, it’s just something to fill the time when you want to watch a movie without watching it, just to have it going in the background.
- I was a bit disappointed with David’s decision in the end, but I find Carrie empowered by her own choices. Forgiveness is powerful and definitely part of relationships, and I believe that if the spouse who ended it had been different, so too would be the ending for Carrie and David.
- I got a kick out of the title being mentioned in the story.~ I love that kind of thing in TV shows.~
