A Life That Fits by Heather Wardell
4.0
A Life That Fits wasn't what I expected. It mostly dealt with Andrea, learning how to grow up and be an adult. I loved that fact about this book. Maybe it's because the last book I felt dealt a little too much with the love interest and she was bitchy about it. Of course, her husband did die.
Another thing I loved was that I found myself relating not to the main protagonist, which I normally do and still did here, but I related to Alex. A long time ago in my past relationship, I saw what I was doing to my girlfriend. She lost that spark and I was becoming her world. I loved her very much but I was destroying and ruining her. So I let her go, and I think I did the right thing. Wish she came back, but what are you going to do. Alex just decided to cheat instead because, well, I don't really know why. I wish it was explained more. All he came off as was a jerk and he could have been more fleshed out. Different choices, different paths.
Anyways, enough about my past. I did thoroughly enjoy the book. The beginning was a bit slow because Andrea was the only character and a bit whiny through most of it. Once she decided to "reverse" things, it started to pick up. I didn't realize it at the time, but I also did the same thing, but in far smaller steps. I should really give it another go.
The beauty about this book is that it works as a chick-lit, a self-help, and a nice love story, all in one. There were a few problems like how a 28 year old decides not only on a career but a boring one, how she can take so much time off, and how could she afford to do all the things she did, and what she ever saw in Alex, but overall, it was a very enjoyable book.
