The Social Affair by Britney King
Genre: Psychological Thriller
Release Date: January 18, 2018
In the tradition of Gone Girl and Behind Closed Doors comes a gripping, twisted, furiously clever read that demands your attention, and keeps you guessing until the very end. For fans of the anti-heroine and stories told in unorthodox ways, The Social Affair delivers us the perfect dark and provocative villain. The only question—who is it?
A timeless, perfect couple waltzes into the small coffee shop where Izzy Lewis works. Instantly enamored, she does what she always does in situations like these: she searches them out on social media.
Just like that—with the tap of a screen— she’s given a front row seat to the Dunns’ picturesque life. This time, she’s certain she’s found what she’s been searching for. This time, she'll go to whatever lengths it takes to ensure she gets it right—even if this means doing the unthinkable.
Intense and original, The Social Affair is a disturbing psychological thriller that explores what can happen when privacy is traded for convenience.
Britney King lives in Austin, Texas with her husband, children, two dogs, one ridiculous cat, and a partridge in a pear tree.
When she's not wrangling the things mentioned above, she writes psychological, domestic and romantic thrillers set in suburbia.
Currently, she's writing three series and several standalone novels.
The Bedrock Series features an unlikely heroine who should have known better. Turns out, she didn’t. Thus she finds herself tangled in a messy, dangerous, forbidden love story and face-to-face with a madman hell-bent on revenge. The series has been compared to Fatal Attraction, Single White Female, and Basic Instinct.
The Water Series follows the shady love story of an unconventional married couple—he’s an assassin—she kills for fun. It has been compared to a crazier book version of Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Also, Dexter.
Around The Bend is a heart-pounding standalone, which traces the journey of a well-to-do suburban housewife, and her life as it unravels, thanks to the secrets she keeps. If she were the only one with things she wanted to keep hidden, then maybe it wouldn’t have turned out so bad. But she wasn’t.
The With You Series at its core is a deep love story about unlikely friends who travel the world; trying to find themselves, together and apart. Packed with drama and adventure along with a heavy dose of suspense, it has been compared to The Secret Life of Walter Mitty and Love, Rosie.
The Social Affair is an intense standalone about a timeless couple who find themselves with a secret admirer they hadn’t bargained for. For fans of the anti-heroine and stories told in unorthodox ways, the novel explores what can happen when privacy is traded for convenience. It is reminiscent of films such as One Hour Photo and Play Misty For Me.

Well HELLO Britney
King! You killed it with this book! You related everyday common problems to the
obsessed person. I loved it! King… you are good at these thriller, suspense,
psychological mindfucks! I might need you to start writing a tad-bit quicker. I
felt my own slight obsession while reading The Social Affair! I developed a
compulsion… with this book! I couldn’t stop reading until it was over. I read
this entire book in less than 24 hours!
So we have Izzy, Izzy
is obsessed with social media. She enjoys following people that she admires.
Like a normal girl, she follows it for fashion advice. So when Josie and Grant
Dunn make a stop in the coffee shop she works in, she feels a connection with
them. So like most young people would do… she searches them online and voila
… we have an insta-connection! While
Josie and Grant may look like the perfect couple, nothing is ever as it seems
on social media. Not when social perception is everything to them. Grant seems
like the perfect husband until you see him behind closed doors. That’s it… that’s
all I’m giving you. If you are intrigued I would suggest grabbing this book
quickly and reading it now! It’s a fantastic story!
Besides the actually
storyline/plot being off the charts; King’s writing has this flow to it. All of
a sudden, you’ve read half the book and you have no idea how that has happened.
I was seriously entranced in this world. King created a situation that seems
absolutely plausible, if not a bit outlandish. Stalking has really been
modernized in our society with all the possibilities of social media.
Plus,
that ending… did that really JUST HAPPEN? No, no way, I couldn’t have ever
envisioned the path King took us on!
Bravo, King, Bravo!!
I received an ARC of this book with the
hope that I will leave an Unbiased Opinion. I was not required to leave a
review, positive or otherwise, and my opinions are just that... my opinions.
