A novel by

 
 
From the Author of The Divorce and The Friend Zone

~ Includes a Q&A with the author ~

Lydia: That is not lipstick, it’s a ketchup stain or a smudge of jelly from a jelly doughnut.

Why do I know this?

One, I do not wear lipstick and two, my husband loves jelly doughnuts.

Boom. Mystery solved.

My gut started to whisper. It was that little voice. Not paranoia. Paranoia is loud and frantic, and it screams suspicion. This was different. This was so softly spoken in the back of my mind that I almost didn’t hear it. It was intuition.

Lorenzo: Sometimes I wonder if she would even enjoy these affairs if she didn’t have a husband. I wonder if she lays under whomever the man is and just imagines me sitting here knowing and hurting. Maybe it pushes her over the edge. My pain, her pleasure.

Now, I’m looking at this woman, who says she understands. She wants to be friends. Like some broken hearts club.

But there’s a fine line between what constitutes a friendship or an affair.

Between what separates us, from them.

That line is called a lie.

"HOLY HELL it’s the best book I’ve read in a long time. It deals with a VERY sensitive topic so beautifully and with so much bravery and honesty. "

—Leslie McAdam, bestselling author of The Sun and The Moon

“As a reader, I felt sympathy for the characters. I felt animosity, I felt love, I felt compassion. Strycharz has woven together such a wonderful world filled with such deepness and realism, that if the reader doesn’t feel something, I’d be surprised!”

—Steve Wilhelm, author of The Another Time Series

“The Affair is raw, edgy, and emotional from beginning to end.”

—Martha Sweeney, bestselling author of Killmore

“It really got me thinking, what do you classify as an affair? Four lives, four opinions. But when it comes down to it, who’s having the affair?”

—Amo, Amo’s Book Corner Blog

“This book is so much more than just a story about cheating and its aftermath. It's a lesson in acceptance. It's a class on the intricacies of the human spirit. It's a lecture on learning to love oneself, just as you are and for what you know you can be. It's the sum of its parts, a celebration of family, tradition, and faith.”

—Daisy St. James, author of Phoenyx in Flames

"The Affair is a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ masterpiece. The storyline and its characters not only teach us but show us there is no such thing as easy love. "
