I absolutely loved this book and read it in one night. This is the first time I have heard of this author and I certainly hope that it isn't the last!
This book was a gripping read of a realistic situation - getting divorced and having to start over in many ways. I loved the main character so very much. I find that she was a person who I could identify with despite never having been divorced myself.
The entire cast of friends and family were enjoyable and I loved a lot of the dialogue and the turns of phrase. Truly one of my favorite books of this year and I just adore the cover art too!
