this reads like someone was trying to justify the emotional betrayal they inflicted on their partner. that's exactly what it was.

Interesting read, about a long-term marriage between spouses that are busy, distracted, and for a time don't talk much.

Im just putting this out there this review is going to be judgemental. I just couldnt gel with this essay as Kristi came across as spoilt and only out for herself and used the males around her when she couldnt work out what she wanted.

This is a short story in yet another Amazon Collection, The One. The collection seems to focus on love and romance, including love for one's children, pets, as well as romantic partners.
"Yes, And" was written well and, for that, it deserves three stars. However, the narrator is incredibly unsympathetic. She is essentially telling her story to justify an incredible act of betrayal toward her husband who, surprisingly, accepts it. Despite all of that, I don't think rating the book based on my opinions of the character is right, just know that if you read it, you may be fairly pissed off for a little while later.
I always enjoy these Amazon Collections as the stories are short and easily digested over your morning coffee, a lunch break, or (as is often in my case) right before nodding off to bed. You get a short sampling of an authors work, and I have found a few new favorite authors I otherwise wouldn't have found through reading these.

I felt so bored reading this (and it is not long). Felt no connection to the protagonist and didn't care to hear "justifications" for her behaviour. Don't waste your time!

I wanted to read this simply because of the title. The term “yes and” is used in and is a rule of improv comedy and I thought this would be set around an improv kind of setting, but I was wrong. I did not like this, which sucks because I really enjoyed Kristi Coulter’s “Nothing Good Can Come From This”. This was drawn out.
