This week's pick:
   





Couple Mechanics by Nelly Alard
Due out January 19, 2016

Synopsis taken from Goodreads:

At once sexy and feminist, this is a story of a woman who decides to fight for her marriage after her husband confesses to an affair with a notable politician
 
Juliette, a computer engineer, and Olivier, a journalist, have two young children and the busy lives of a modern Parisian couple. On a beautiful spring day, while sitting by the river watching her children play, Juliette’s cell phone rings. It is her husband. When Olivier confesses to having an affair, Juliette’s world is shattered.
 
How do you survive betrayal? Can a couple ever be united again? What lengths would you go to in order to save your marriage? These are the questions that this novel, with great intelligence, honesty, and humor, tries to answer. In its acute depiction of intimacy, Couple Mechanics exposes the system of forces at work in a marriage, the effects of the inevitable ebb and flow of desire, and the difficulty of being a man today

Ehhh....I may be about over the cheating spouse books. And that last sentence in the blurb - 'the difficulty of being a man today'. Really? LOL

That being said, I hope you enjoy it, Tina. ;-)
