mariaannd 's review for:
The Divorce
by Nicole Strycharz
4.5/ stars
This book actually surprised me. I guess I've been reading too many cheating husband/ scorned wife books lately and wasn't prepared for a neglected wife ( no cheating) wakes up and realizes that she needs a partner who actually pays attention to her.
Chris and Jenzy are in Their late 20s. They had a whirlwind romance in college, got married and now Jenzie doesn't recognize her husband anymore.
Hes no longer caring, sweet and tender. Now he just forgets she exists; for thr last 2 years he doesn't remember her birthday or valentines day. She got nothing for Christmas . He also doesn't take her to his fancy work award parties, nor does he seem to care about her career or even her interests.
Jenny has had enough and tells Chris one day that she wants a divorce and has met someone else that actually takes interest in her. Warning she does date the other man throughout their separation but swears they didn't have sex. I didn't see that as cheating as it's adter she separated but it could be seen as emotional cheating.
Chris is shaken from his fog and salutes he doesn't want to live Jenzy so he contests the divorce and forces marriage counseling on Jenzy. He goes to often ridiculous amounts of time and energy to try to win back Jenzys affection.
Is it too little too late or will Chris's possesive antics work?
I really enjoyed reading the book. I really despised Chris in the begining but the fact that he worked on himself, searching for the root cause of his behavior and wanted to be a better husband were important steps to him redeeming himself. Jenzt was quirky and you couldn't help butb love the fun , hippie.
