Synopses & Reviews
Having an Affair? is a cynical yet intimate journey into the mind of the serial adulterer.
It reveals the mental gymnastics involved in having an affair, and is a SIN-tillating read for women and men alike
This book will enlighten everyone involved in a triangle of deceit, making them savvier and saner, sooner, and shaking up marriages the world over. Mistresses will be empowered, cheating husbands frightened, and unsuspecting wives shocked.
Ms.Symonds' wit and poignancy provide an honest, powerful punch to a timely topic. A 'must read' for any woman contemplating an affair or already involved with a married man -- and a real eye-opener for all wives
-- Dr.Nancy Lee, Clinical Psychologist, Relationship Expert, Beverly Hills
A page turner Such a sizzling read and so close to real life that you're going to wonder how the author knows so much - and why she took so long to lay it all out. No beach will be complete without this book this summer
-- Roger Friedman, Fox News
Like taking the ostrich's head and lifting it out of the sand, few people want to face the truth about affairs, but anyone in a relationship - or intending to have one - should definitely read this book.
-- Jules Haimovitz, Senior TV Executive, Hollywood
Having an Affair? is a compilation (not to be confused with complication) of the
author's experience and observations of life in the fast lane, highlighting the sort of
extramarital activity that typically accompanies it. Sarah's international public relations career, and jet-set lifestyle, has provided her the perfect setting to witness many real-life assignations. Luxurious hotels, corporate boardrooms, andexotic retreats all set a sizzling backdrop in which to gather a wealth of material, too good not to put in print. Writing in a style of her own, she delivers with the sort of sassy, wry, direct approach rarely seen since Carrie Bradshaw hung up her Manolo Blahniks and retired. Sarah mixes her British upbringing with an extremely cynical outlook, often resulting in the antithesis of stereotypical British humor.
