Wild Game

Subtitled: My Mother, Her Lover, and Me.
Nonfiction by Adrienne Brodeur

The author begins her story when at age fourteen, her mother woke her up in the middle of the night on vacation to tell her an exciting news: Mommy's having an affair!

For the next decade, the author is embroiled in her mother's romance as a confidant and co-conspirator, loving the attention she gets from Mom and hating the lies she has to tell everyone else. It takes her many more years to understand the incredible damage she's taken on, and I'm not sure she completely has worked though it even at the end of the story.


I also listened to recently by Audible Originals: Dragon Heist
