Goodreads...
Sadie Hunt isn’t perfect—but her husband is. Nathan Hunt has her coffee waiting every morning. He holds her hand until the last second. He worships the Manhattan sidewalk she walks on. Until one day, he just…stops. And Sadie finds herself in the last place she ever expected to be. Lonely in her marriage.
When rugged and sexy Finn Cohen moves into the apartment across the hall, he and Sadie share an immediate spark. Finn reveals dreams for a different life. Sadie wants to save her marriage. Their secrets should keep them apart, not ignite a blistering affair. But while Sadie’s marriage runs colder by the day, she and Finn burn hotter.
Her husband doesn’t want her anymore.
The man next door would give up everything to have her.
My Take...
I went in hoping SLIP OF THE TONGUE was a little similar to the Cityscape series. I needed to experience all the feels all over again that David gave off. And some moments and similarities whispered the same, but in the end, this book was it’s own.
I had times, more often than not, that throughout the story I just did not like Sadie. Sure I felt sorry for her a lot of times, even took her side. But how she handled Finn made her out to be the bad guy. To me, when things were not right for her, she used him. It was utterly unfair to Finn. And then there was Nathan. He handled their marriage and everything else between them completely wrong. I had zero cares if their marriage died or revived. Until the end.
And oh my goodness. Here I was 85% in and my outlook changed with the flip of a switch. I was fighting for Nathan and Sadie. I needed them to make it. I loved everything they had been through and needed to know it was worth it in the end. This ending was a turning point for me and them. 5 Stars!!
