Book Review August 26, 2008

It started out slow for me. As it progresses it gets much better. At first I wasn't sure if I wanted to continue reading it, but the further you get, the better it gets.
 Great!!! August 25, 2008

This was a GREAT book! I strongly disagree with some of the reviews that say it was lacking depth or that the main character was shallow (immature, yes. Shallow, no way). If anything, the story is almost TOO in-depth in its description of the main character's thoughts and feelings, to the point that we see just about all of her flaws throughout the story. The author shows no fear in uncovering the real life challenges of love and monogomy and in discussing how emotions can make good people do things they know are wrong. The main character is hard to like at times because of the choices she makes, but she is almost painfully relatable. Being in her head is like listening to all the stuff that most people would think in that same situation but would never admit or say aloud, especially about the people that they love and/or are married to.
The story, however, is very simple, so if you are looking for something with lots of plot twists, this is not the book for you. It is more like a classic love story, just without the glossing over of the ugly, unhappy sides of the whole love thing and an unusually honest main character telling the story. I thought it was just great.

Save your money. This expensive hardback is not worth the money and certainly not worth your time (a mercifully short read). The characters are so superficial and the plot just down right stupid (and done so many times before). The supposed suspense of whether she would return to her long lost boyfriend vs staying with her devoted husband is totally lost in this book. The people were so poorly developed (especially the main character)that you could care less by the end what she did...
Awesome! August 20, 2008

I loved reading about Ellen, Andy and Leo! This was a great love story about a woman's past and present colliding together and what she does about it. I also loved Suzanne and even Margot, though I hate her friend Ginny. What a b...
Also, you guys have to try out the Kindle if you haven't already! So cool.

This is not her strongest book, it took a while to build up, dragged on a little but the ending was great. Its a fun summer read, if you have the time and the patience.
