As a busy mother, I don't often have time to devote to reading so I have very little patience for books that are either slow, boring or just pointless. Luckily, this book was none of the above: it was entertaining and had enough depth to make the read more than worthwhile. As a married woman, I was surpised that I could relate so easily to the main character, but I guess we all have those long lost loves that have an unexplainable hold on our hearts. There were many times when I grew frustrated at how easily the main character indulged in those feelings to the detriment of her marriage, but then I remembered back to what it was like being so unsure in a new marriage and a new life and it made more sense. Undertaking a lifelong commitment is not an easy thing for anyone, and it takes a while to get into the swing of it (so to speak). Maybe it is taken to a dramatic extreme in this case, but the issues addressed in this book are intelligently drawn out.But whether I agreed with what the main character was doing throughout the book or not, I simply could not put the book down. I thought this book was a smart and, for the most part, realistic look at the challenges of marriage and the author certainly pulls no punches in laying bare the sometimes ugly longings of her character's heart.
