hey mate here is your answer
Yes, fluorine is one of the exceptions -- and the element with the highest electron affinity is chlorine (note that the most electronegative element is fluorine however).
The reason that the electron affinity is not as high as might otherwise be predicted for fluorine is that it is an extremely small atom, and so it's electron density is very high. Adding an additional electron is therefore not quite as favorable as for an element like chlorine where the electron density is slightly lower (due to electron-electron repulsion between the added electron and the other electrons in the electron cloud).
