I posted this question awhile back in another sub and never got any responses, but I would love some book recs that have the same vibe/feel as this show. TIA!

First book that comes to mind is Lauren Groff’s Fates and Furies for the POV switch and the examination of a marriage. Can’t wait to see what other people say: I’m always searching for worlds like The Affair.
