wilko's review against another edition
4.0
Solid 3.5 star
I liked Alex, you could get the torment and struggle with what to do about her future after her douche of a husband Glenn leaves a note then splits to destination unknown. David who grew up with both Alex and Glenn lets Alex and her 2 boys move in with him and then we start to learn of his long standing attraction to Alex. As Alex works through her feelings about her marriage her attraction to David starts to show and we see them try and work through how they feel about each other and what a future might look like but Glenn causes issues whether there or not. This was a good read but there were times where I felt things were a bit too drawn out, too much details gone into or unnecessary information, in saying that the story will draw you in and have you turning the page to see how things will end for everyone.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I'm not quite sure how to describe the story telling.
It was basic. Very basic.
It's like the author received an A in a college creative writing class and then decided to write a book because of it. The premise behind the book sounded promising, the lack of character development drove me insane.
Alex, the heroine, started with the personality of a pathetic, wet mop and ended the story as just a wet mop.
The hero, David, was forgettable.
The only interesting person was Glenn, and he was an asshole, but at least he had personality.
If I was reading this I would've DNFed it.
Since it was an audiobook, I suffered through it because I had a long drive ahead of me. I did speed it up as much as humanly possible to get through it faster.
