Sample Saturday is when I wade through the eleventy billion samples I have downloaded on my Kindle. I’m slowly chipping away and deciding whether it’s buy or bye. This week, all three came via Susan’s roundup of August releases.

Wife by Charlotte Mendelson

Summary: When Zoe Stamper meets fellow academic Dr Penny Cartwright at a party, she seems impossibly glamorous to Zoe, who is, after all, several rungs down the academic pecking order. But Penny leaves Zoe a cryptic note, and a passionate affair ensues . . .Penny confesses all to her live-in lover, Justine, and it seems her and Zoe’s path is clear – or is it?

I’m thinking: Yes.

The Most by Jessica Anthony

Summary: 1957. Katheen, a college tennis champion turned Delaware housewife, decides not to join her husband, Virgil, and their two young boys, at church. Instead, she takes a dip in the swimming pool of their apartment complex. And then she won’t come out.

I’m thinking: Yes.

The World After Alice by Lauren Aliza Green

Summary: When Morgan and Benji surprise their families with a wedding invitation to Maine, they’re aware the news of their clandestine relationship will come as a shock. Twelve years have passed since the loss of Alice, Benji’s sister and Morgan’s best friend. The wedding marks the first time their fractured families will reunite since Alice’s funeral. As the guests arrive, they bring with them not only skepticism about the nuptials but also secrets and agendas of their own.

I’m thinking: Maybe.
