Book Review - Cheating to Survive by Christine Ardigo

Cheating to Survive - by Christine Ardigo
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is an excellent read – perfect debut novel!

Cheating to Survive -by Christine Ardigo is a story that has a realistic plot with well-developed characters that draw you into the story from the beginning. All three women, Heather, Victoria and Catherine are unhappy in their lives. They have a vile boss and non-supportive husbands. Their marriages are miserable and intimacy free. You come to care for these women and want them to find happiness.

To escape the reality of her depressing life, Heather embarks on an affair with a hot doctor at the hospital where the women work. Her sudden happiness makes the other two women jealous until they realize they can achieve the same happiness through having an affair also. Victoria meets the program leader at a cancer research center and Catherine catches the eye of one of the doctors at the hospital.

You feel for the women as their home lives remain on a roller coaster ride. They come to a point where they realize they must ‘fix it or get out’. I won’t say what happens, but you’ll feel good about how each woman’s situation ends.

This is a great debut novel for Christine Ardigo. I look forward to her next novel.
