Edie is a young black woman, an artist with a job that pays the bills. She starts an affair with an older, white, married man in an open marriage. After losing her job, she finds herself living with her lover, befriending his wife and being a role model for their adopted black daughter. Yes, it is a little odd. But the inner voice of Edie, knowing what she is thinking and how she is feeling is very good. Ariel Blake does an interesting narration...despite the domestic drama, her voice is low key and steady. I think this reflects the character well but doesn't put it in the top of audiobooks for the year. Still, an interesting debut.
