A review by chloe_liese
Covet by Tracey Garvis Graves

This was a heartfelt, intelligent exploration (a la Taylor Jenkins Reid) of the breakdown and rebuilding potential of a marriage when it’s strained by external and internal circumstances. It hit that women's fiction/romance hybrid right on the mark, and I found the personal lives of the secondary characters relatable and engaging. There was a maturity and poise to the main female character that I loved; she wrestled through her choices while struggling with her heart, and that felt deeply believable. Real and difficult issues of marital discord, alcoholism, workaholism, and health issues were intelligently and sensitively touched on too, which I appreciated; the world TGG builds is real and accessible. The ending was touching, just enough closure and feel-good resolution; it left me feeling at peace. If you're new to Tracey Garvis Graves, this is a lovely introduction to her storytelling!
