Adultery as told through 3 couples. 2 in the 1960s and one in the 1990s and related to the earlier groups.

interesting, told through different perspectives, non-linear. ( )

A study of a marriage on the knife-edge of crisis. During one day, Ginny and Jon consider their marriage and the long reach of the past disaster that brought them together. Suspenseful with a surprise ending. ( )

The story is about Jon and Ginny a married couple , who were high school sweethearts. Jon and Ginny have a long history together. Jon is having an affair with someone he works with and is torn between ending the affair or his marriage. This all happens on one day, a Saturday. Jon asks Ginny to go with him the fair but she is busy working and declines his offer. Jon is mad and leaves. He heads over to his mistress's apt. and they end up to going to the fair. Low and behold Ginny changes her and goes to the fair as well.
I found the changing between the chapters,from past to present and vise versa to be very confusing. It made me not like the story as much. The best part of the story was at the end when Ginny answers her cell and notices the call is from Freddi, there goes her fears about Jon having an affair? ( )

This story was difficult to follow...it jumped back and forth between present day and 1963. It was supposed to be a story about a marriage on the rocks, with the husband cheating on his wife...which it was, to some certain extent. Too many other storylines got in the way. ( )

I really enjoyed this book. It became a little confusing at times when she would flash us back to 1963 and we had to kind of untangle who people were and who their children turned out to be. But, a clever story...although the ending left us hanging. Ugh. ( )
