The premise of this novel is much like any chick-lit novel, so its quality really depends on how the author tells the story. This was pretty good story telling. I often found myself thinking about this book at work and other times throughout the day, which always tells me a book is good. Unsurprisingly, it was a little predictable, especially at the end. The characters are warm and familiar, which I really like. Rachel's best friend is much like any woman's best friend: supportive at all times, but still share opinions on what they believe is best for their friend.

I recommend this for those of you looking for a cozy, warm chick-lit novel. Bonus if you're a blogger and/or a cook, and relate to the main character on that level.

I very much looked forward to reading Mel's book as I've been such a long time follower and fan of her blog, Stirrup Queens. The basis of the book is easily relate-able whether you've been married or divorced or not. Essentially, how would you spend a year of your life if you were forced to have to re-examine how you were living it.

Rachel Goldman is easy to like. The book is a light read with a fun premise.
