The Other Woman

This book blows you away with its raw emotion. So many twists and turns. I read this book so fast, I didn't even have time to think about what was going to happen next- which is good because the events unfolded unpredictably. I was left with my jaw open on several occasions. Even though the book is entirely in first person the narrator -being nameless throughout- her emotions are crystal clear! Fortunately we are let in on other characters thoughts and feelings through, e-mails, and IMs, the narrators chance encounters, or private conversations and of course her to-the-point-questions!!!!! This story is totally believable, it is apparent that people who are strangers can have an instant bond when thrown together in tragic times. Page 142 is shockingly erotic yet brief, very though provoking stuff- be careful if you happen to stumble upon this page in public. EJD leads the reader to all the clues, but still I (like all the characters in the book) ignored them, and was stunned by the turn the book takes. It was hard for me to remember that the author is male- he was clearly able to zero-in on all of a woman's moods, emotions, tones and complexities. The end was slightly disappointing. I really wanted to see the answers to those questions.... An epilogue would have been nice. Overall this is a great book, not a book to pick up from the library, this is a book to have on your bookshelf in the event you are in the same situation, and you need some help creating your own questions!!! I especially loved the way that EDJ makes references to his old characters- just a snippet or two to let the readers know that they are alive and thriving (Tammy from Cheaters, Kim from MIMC).

I've recently jumped onto the EJD bandwagon. I'm sure I must have read him in the past, but reading so many books over so many years I cannot remember for sure. However, I'm glad to be here. Eric Jerome Dickey is absolutely remarkable. He and Carl Weber have got to be the best AA writers today, with Eric at the very top. His writing is descriptive, eloquent, distinctive and just plain fascinating. His writing reflects the fact that he travels all over the world as he writes. I cannot imagine a writer being stationary and up with plots so varied and book after book unlike the previous, unless it's a continuing story which he doesn't give us much of. Sheer, raw talent at it's best,. This story of infidelity get me flying through the book in 3 days. Very, very good and so different from the norm. I will have read most of his books, consecutively more than less of them, by the time I'm finished. This book was wonderful, the writer is wonderful and I highly recommend reading his works.

I have been searching for books on infidelity written by a male author because I wanted the man's point of view. Most infidelity novels are, naturally, written by women. This is a fast paced, unpredictable, satisfying novel that stretches around and beyond the trope. It is a story within a story and it will make your heart ache, while satisfying your need for revenge and redemption. Good job Mr. Dickey!

I haven’t read an EJD novel in a long time, so I decided to reread this one. I had forgotten how poetic and lyrical his writing is. I came across so many lines I want to remember. As far as the story goes, it is so well written. He is easily able to convey the pain and anguish of the nameless lead character, only known as Freckles. I felt every tear she cried. I read this book at breakneck speed. It was fast paced with no slow parts and a satisfying ending. Highly recommended.

I've been off and on reading Eric Jerome Dickey (may he rest in peace) books since my early 20's and here 20 years later and I'm still a fan. This book has surprises I didn't expect and some that was predictable but all in all I still loved it. It's a very good read.. Now on to my next book

One of my favorite books from Eric that I reread every single time!

The Other Woman by Eric Jerome Dickey was different, well written, with good storytelling, depth, sex, and twists. Dickey's unique way of writing this novel was ingenious. All the named characters were important to the story and their relationships with each other were complex, raw, adulterous, but also thought-provoking throughout. Why this, what about that, what does this certain acronym that was used mean (hehehe), would I go to a place like that, could this have played out differently were all things I questioned while reading, and all these things combined made this book a 4 star read for me. READ, RELAX and RELATE!

Wow! Loved this story. So well written and full of twist and turns. I could not put the iPad down.

What a tale! Of all the Dickey books I have purchased, this I have read twice and some I haven't even started/finished. It is the perfect balance of life, love, ambition and complications of the heart. With sensual scenes written to make the imagination wonder. Have leant it out since buying - and I struggle to get it back each time. Cannot recommend enough!

結婚をしている人も、していない人も、浮気をされるたことがある人も無い人もきっとストーリーに惹きこまれてしまうでしょう。浮気をした男女、された男女の４人の心理がとてもリアルに書かれていて、本を置くことが出来ませんでした。彼の本はどれもお薦めだけど、この本がいままでで一番でした。

EJD never disappoints. This is one of his best.
