'Somers's wit is as cool, caustic and dry as liquid nitrogen' TONY TULATHIMUTTE'Hilarious' BRANDON TAYLOR'Compulsively readable' JULIA MAY JONASTwo parents. Happily married. Just not to each other.When Cora meets Sam at a baby group in their small town, the chemistry between them is instant and undeniable. But both are happily married, and neither is the type to cheat. So as their lives intertwine and the romantic tension between them heightens, Cora turns to her imagination: in her head, she and Sam pursue their feelings; in reality, they resist.Yet as the fantasy affair grows ever more intoxicating, it can't help but cast Cora's everyday life - the mushroom problem in the bathroom, her daughter's new fascination with the afterlife, her husband's obsession with podcasts about the history of rope - in a new light. And when the boundaries grow increasingly blurred, she must decide what truly matters.Razor-sharp, exhilaratingly honest and salted with an irresistible acerbic wit, The Ten Year Affair explores family life, fidelity and the roads not taken, and ultimately asks: do we really want our fantasies to come true?

Cora meets Sam at a local baby group and realizes that not only is he the sole other parent she can stand, but she is also very attracted him. Sam feels the same but they cannot act on those feelings and potentially destroy two families. But then what if they did? I really loved the way this story was told, managing to make suburban infidelity almost seem fresh. It was funny and gripping if a touch too long. Out 10/21
