A review by sjj169
The Betrayal by Laura Elliot
3.0
Nadine's kids are all leaving the nest. Her and her husband Jake's business is on the skids and she starts looking back at her life. Nadine decides that her marriage is over but that she and Jake can have an easy, happy divorce.
She is interesting in living the life she didn't get to live and starting back to creating art while Jake wants to start up his teenage rockband again.
Their kids don't really understand why their parents are separating but they are all grown and pretty much on their own so mom and dad don't worry too much about them.
But a woman from the past is starting to catch Jake's attention.
Karin Moylan used to be Nadine's best friend before it all went sour one summer when they were fifteen years old. Now she is seeing Jake. She believes that Jake was taken from her by Nadine. That stupid Nadine just took everything from her. *sarcasm*
That's what love does, Jake. It fills us with the need to possess and cherish those dearest to us.
Jake begins to realize that all is not as it should be with Karin and then she starts inserting herself into the kids lives and popping up when she shouldn't be.
Jake should not have been thinking with his "other head."
I actually almost dnf'd the book because there is so much info in it that I kept thinking I would never finish it. When the action does pick up it turns into an interesting book but lots of talky-talking.

I love this review here for the book so that is the one I'm spotlight this time. (None of my friends have braved this one yet)
