This is a funny and heartbreaking tale of thirty-ish life. Emily Ross is thirty and has a good life. She is married to Kevin - they hooked up nine years ago at college and have now been married for five years. He is a doting, responsible and loving husband. Emily's best friend Meg is the perfect best friend; funny, smart, available and steady. Emily has a steady stream of freelance writing jobs and a permanent part-time editing job and she happily lives in an apartment in the city. Some would call this the perfect life but it is hardly exciting.Then Kevin begins to insist on moving to suburbia and starting a family, and Meg gets pregnant and wants their children to grow up together. Emily struggles with these changes and decisions and questions whether or not she wants the picture-perfect life. Enter David Keller, a handsome writer who works for the local alternative newspaper, who asks Emily out on a date. Emily impulsively answers yes, and despite vowing to do so every time they meet or email, finds herself unable to tell David she is married. They stumble into a full-blown affair. But is sex with someone new really the answer to Emily's dissatisfaction? And what about sweet and kind Kevin, who, despite her infatuation with David, she still loves?
