About this listen

Jayne was mid-40s when she experienced the worst and the best times of her life.

She fell in love, so desperately in love.

She lost everything overnight.

No matter how bad life gets, how far down that dark tunnel you are, there is always a glimmer of hope.

From her dream house in Kent, via the "nuthouse", and eventually to a cottage in Cornwall, Jayne takes a journey that is to wound, to destroy, and eventually heal her.

This is a story of one woman’s quest to find herself and learn to love herself again.

Is this a story about affairs? No. It's about depression and loss, love, and laughter. Tracie Podger opens her heart and bares her soul in this inspirational story based on a real event. This is a story about women to women.

Contemporary Romance for listeners over the age of 18.

emotional read

Oh my heart, this book made me cry many times, I cried at times when I have no idea why! It also made me giggle too.

The story was so down to earth and real that it can't fail to pull on your heart strings. There were times I wanted to throw my Kindle at a wall because Jane didn't tell dickhead to do one. Her best friend is awesome, and as with best friends that's were most funny moments came from.

Steam, oh yes this book got steamy and I was wooping for Jane and her friend.

I think if I'm honest there must be something in this book that has touched everyone as it covers a great deal of life's trials.

I was completely invested in Jane and her story and highly recommend this book to you.

I actually listened to the Audio book, the story was easy to follow and the narrator did a great job projecting the story and making the characters real.

I love an audio book the only thing I miss is when you pop back and read a page again, but you can rewind but it's not quite the same.

Relatable and Witty Story

insightful, humorous and heartbreaking. Loved it!

An inspirational story about love and loss...…. This description is spot on!

I finished listening to the audio version of this book and staggered off the very emotional rollercoaster I had been on throughout. But you know what? I absolutely love the buzz of a rollercoaster and there were parts of this story I needed to see written on the page, so I downloaded the ebook, hopped right back on and ended up doing a full reread. That's how much I loved it and whilst reading I could hear the narrators very expressive voice in my head all the way through. She really was excellent.

A Virtual Affair is Jayne's story - from a lonely, loveless marriage to a selfish, cheating husband where she had lost herself under years of neglect, a holiday with her bestie where an unexpected new friend sparks life back into her, to a beautiful cottage in Cornwall that finally feels like home. In between an insightful, humorous, emotional, gutwrenching, heartfelt account of love, hope, friendship, devasting loss and the darkest place a person can reach.

It's a bit eye opening to see some of your own personality traits within a character you are reading, to see some of the mistakes made because you've made them too. That's how real this felt, because I understand and empathise with some of Jayne's experiences, thoughts and feelings as they resonate with me. However I'm equally relieved and thankful for the things that don't! It was pure, raw and real emotion.

My eyes were puffy from tears and my heart felt like it had been through an industrial crusher, but for all the cracks, bruises and bumps it picked up on the way, it came out the other side lighter, happier and healed. The authors real life experiences especially with depression, have given this story a depth, heart and soul that I've not seen very often in a book. It was simply wonderful to read and the humour threaded throughout made me laugh out loud. The thoughts and feelings it has evoked are going to stay with me for a very long time!

If I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would.

Wow

I loved this book and loved it even more being able to hear everyone. Once again, I’ve laughed, cried, and felt a connection. Kent is my home and I’ve been in ‘that place’. It’s heartwarming and fun at the same time. Thank you x
