This is a good easy fun read. A good choice to take to the beach.

Good story that many wives can probably identify with at some part of the book. But it is hard to believe that a husband can be soooo totally unaware/uncaring about his wife's happiness.

I expected a fluffy beach read, but what I got was a well-written family drama. The characters evolve, but the changes are realistic, not stereotypical. Because the chapters alternate between the 1st person narration of the husband & wife at the center of this story, it felt a bit predictable. As the tale progresses and the rather large portion of flashback is presented, the reader begins to see more developed characters with relatable emotions and responses. Beyond the characters, I loved the descriptions of Charleston, SC so much that I hope to take a short trip there in the fall! I highly recommend this title for female book clubs because there will be lots to discuss.
