Once I started this book and realized that it was a story of a divorce I wasn’t sure if I really wanted to read it, but once again Elizabeth Berg sucked me in with her easy prose and comfortable story. In the end I’m glad I finished it. It was an interesting view into a marriage…what is important and what is not. Also the introspection of the main characters was instructive and inspirational.
4 Stars (Rated PG-13, a few F-bombs and adult situations.)
As always... I love your book reviews.
