About this listen

"An emotional, compelling read that you won't be able to put down. Beautifully written, it's a study of romance." (Louise Bay, USA Today best-selling author)

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.

Slip of the Tongue can be enjoyed as a standalone or as book one in the Slip of the Tongue series.

Narrated by Andi Arndt.

Would you listen to Slip of the Tongue again? Why?

Yes I will listen again. I think you get more out of it the second time

Who was your favorite character and why?

Finn, he is honest and sounds lovely

Which character – as performed by Andi Arndt – was your favourite?

Andi does them all very well. Her voice is great for the part of Sadie though

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Yes near the end when Sadie has to make a decision of husband or lover

Any additional comments?

The only thing that disappointed me was the ending. I was hoping for an epilogue to give us some insight into the future, unless there is going to be a sequel........?

I loved this book because it was real. It showed love in all its forms, some not very pretty. It narrated the tale of a woman unhappy in her marriage, detailing her emotions and how someone else provided comfort when her husband did not. This book is gritty, sexy, sad. It's real life, not perfect and bittersweet. I get the ending, I do, but without wanting to spoil it, I wish it ended differently.

The not so pretty side of love

This is my 6th book by Jessica Hawkins and it will be my last all the books i have listen to by her haven't been great but this takes the cake the female lead is a bitch [SPOILER ALERT] she accused her husband of cheating when she was the one cheating on him. I have read all the reviews and the fact that most of the reviews are saying this is like real life I can say that I do not think this book has any bearings on reality, in reality married couples actually talk to each other. Sadie is selfish and the bullshit she tells herself about not feeling any guilt just so she feels better about cheating on her husband really got under my skin. I sped this audio book up just so I could finish it, I found myself actually screaming at Sadie for the way she acted and her husband so not communicating with her.
I love Andi Arndt and have listened to over a dozen books narrated by her and that won't change because this book was the worst one yet!!! [this is my first book review and I have been an audible member for several years]

I won't recommend this book
