Publisher's summary

It was intoxicating. Thrilling. It was so unlike her. Aila was always a good wife. Never reckless. Always faithful. Until she wasn’t.

Aila Sorenson doesn’t know what happened to her marriage. She actively participated in building the life she and her husband, Ben, created, but she no longer recognizes herself when she remembers the role she dreamt up 15 years ago.

While Ben has been building a successful career as an attorney in Seattle, Aila has remained in the shadows taking care of their home and tending to their children while struggling to find a balance between the monotony and the chaos. They appear to be shining pillars of marital perfection - attending church on Sundays, volunteering, and surpassing every expectation society has of them - but deep down, Aila knows their marriage is crumbling. She often wonders if Ben even realizes it.

When Aila unexpectedly runs into someone from her past, the illusion she and Ben created begins to shatter. While many merely wonder about the road not taken, Aila runs down it full-speed. After months of authentic and insatiable passion, Aila rivals her devotion against her desires and must decide which one is worth fighting for.

Beautifully Written

This is not a book I would have picked up based on its topic alone. Infidelity just isn’t the trope for me. However, after reading Sixteen Summers, I found among its pages the kind of tangible and believable story telling I crave in fiction, and I knew I wanted to read whatever Moss wrote. As expected, I was not disappointed.

Moss has a way of telling stories in such a way that you feel like you’re sitting down talking to a friend rather than reading a novel. Even though I couldn’t relate to Aila, I understood how she’d tumbled into the whirlwind romance with Jackson. I felt everything reading this story. Fear, disappointment, betrayal, trepidation, longing, sadness, and excitement. As Moss is known for doing, she takes you on a roller coaster ride of emotions through a story that feels more like a memoir at times than fiction. Of course, it’s not a memoir! Rest assured, this story is firmly rooted in fiction, but when fiction feels real, for me that’s a sign of literary greatness.

So Relatable

I loved this story. I just loved how realistic this couple in this story were and their real life struggles. Being a SAHM myself I can see how years of giving to others gets old and normal life things tend to take over while our marriage takes a backseat. The audio though, I didn’t enjoy the long gaps between chapters, and so weird how randomly the narrator would sound different or come on loudly. I would legit jump since it scared me.

The errors, oh the errors...

Added words, completely changing sentences...
such a great book but overshadowed by the poor narration, shoddy editing and weird delays

So, this one is tricky

While I did enjoy the story, the audio is messed up all throughout the book and can often be distracting. Long pauses, changes in volume/sound, repetition. Had I not had a ton of credits to use, I would be asking for my credit back for this one.
