Tuesday, June 14, 2011 The Mistress's Revenge by Tamar Cohen ~ review Product Details: Click here to purchase a copy of this book. Paperback: 288 pages Publisher: Free Press; Original edition (June 7, 2011) Language: English About the book: Product Description from Amazon.com: There’s a fine line between love and hate. For five years, Sally and Clive have been lost in a passionate affair. Now he has dumped her to devote himself to his wife and family, and Sally is left in freefall. It starts with a casual stroll past his house, and popping into the brasserie where his son works. Then Sally starts following Clive’s wife and daughter on Facebook. But that’s alright, isn’t it? These are perfectly normal things to do. Aren’t they? Not since Fatal Attraction has the fallout from an illicit affair been exposed in such a sharp, darkly funny, and disturbing way: The Mistress’s Revenge is a truly exciting fiction debut. After all, who doesn’t know an otherwise sane woman who has gone a little crazy when her heart was broken? My take on this book: Clive and Sally have been having an affair for the last five years, but when Clive decides out of the blue to dump Sally so that he can spend more time with his wife, she doesn't handle it very well and decides to see a therapist. The therapist suggests as part of the healing process Sally should start keeping a journal and its through Sally's journaling that we get a front row seat of just how much the ending of the affair has affected her. While it was hard for me to connect with either of the main characters, the story itself was interesting. Watching Sally literally loose it because she couldn't let go of a married man made me want to see how things would turn out, and it really does give a great look at the fallout of a relationship when only one person wants that relationship to end. The word I would use for Sally was obsessive, and sadly for her she lost much more than just her relationship with Clive. There are plenty of twists and turns throughout the story as Sally reveals her feelings, and the ending was something that I really didn't see coming. As a debut novel from Tamar Cohen, the story she spins is actually pretty good. It just wasn't one that I could garner any true feelings for, and I really believe it was because I couldn't feel empathy for any of the characters, so I doubt if its a story that I will remember even in a week from now. For anyone who likes reading about affairs and the fallout of a relationship gone south told thru the eyes of the mistress this book just might be what your looking for. rating 3/5 A complimentary copy of this book was provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review. 7 comments: I just wanted to say thanks for the follow and the comment, it meant a lot to a newish blogger like me! Im following you now and look forward to your reviews! ReplyDelete Meg  < Hi, Newest follower via Welcome Wed... would love for you to consider following me back. xo MaliaReplyDelete http://www.yesterdayontuesday.com Not my kind of story; like you I would have a hard time generating any real connection to the characters. ReplyDelete Thanks for the honest review :) Fatal Attraction scared me. It's sad for Sally to not be able to control her emotions since she knew he was already married. Anyhow, even though I despise women who let themselves be involved with a married man, I can see why they feel the way they do after the break up. ReplyDelete I am a new follower. Thanks for the review on The Mistress's Revenge. I just finished reading it and it did remind me of Fatal Attraction, which scared me. DonnaReplyDelete Would love a visit from you on my blog and a follow if you like it there. Thanks. http://mylife-in-stories.blogspot.com - AnonymousJune 21, 2011 at 11:00 PM This book is a good story despite the quality of her writing, because its true. She has destroyed her family and 'clive's family along with it by writing this book. Using her experience to write her first book is heartless. Her husband tried to commit suicide because of what has happened. Please remove this review from your blog as it is so distressing for her children to read. Thank you.

Ljubavničina osveta Racionalno, šokantno, moćno... Nikada se ne upuštajte u vezu s nekim tko ima manje toga za izgubiti od vas! Debitantski roman Tamar Cohen, LJUBAVNIČINA OSVETA je roman u kojem će se prepoznati nekolicina žena... Da li ste se ikad zapitali „Na što je sve spremna ostavljena i gnjevna ljubavnica?“ U ovom krimi romanu odnosa koji je pisan u formatu dnevnika i u prvom licu, Sally vas uvlači u svoje situacije toliko jako da čitajući stranicu za stranicom osjećate njezine emocije. Emocije ostavljene žene. To je priča o ljubavnici, braku, odvojenosti, odrastanju, muškarcima, ljubavi, mržnji i osveti. Nakon što je dugogodišnji ljubavnik (Clive) ostavi, manično očajna ljubavnica (Sally) odlazi u ludilo. Pročitajte ovaj roman koji je sve samo ne lagano i romantično štivo sa šokirajućim krajem (nikada ne bi pogodili što će se dogoditi). Misliš da si me se riješio? Misliš da si završio priču? Ti si tako, tako u krivu! Sally i Clive su proveli pet godina u strastvenoj vezi. On ju je sada ostavio kako bi se posvetio supruzi i obitelji i Sally je prepuštena samoj sebi. Sve počinje običnom šetnjom pokraj njegove kuće i svraćanjem u restoran u kojem radi njegov sin. Potom Sally postane prijateljica s Cliveovom suprugom i kćerkom na Facebooku. Ali to je u redu, zar ne? Mislim, to su savršeno normalne stvari. Zar nisu? Od filma Fatalna privlačnost nismo doživjeli raspad jedne ljubavne veze prikazan na tako oštar, ciničan i uznemirujući način. Naposljetku, tko od nas nije upoznao normalnu i savršeno zdravu ženu koja nije malo poludjela nakon što ju je ostavio voljeni muškarac?
