Very captivating story of Grace, whose husband is prone to disappearing without explanation. It is set in present day New York City and it chronicles the months of Grace making various excuses to friends and family about her husband's whereabouts. I would classify it a light mystery. I didn't identify with Grace at all as I would not sit around waiting for the elusive husband to return and make excuses for him. It was, however, an enjoyable read.

Pretty funny story about a wife who can't face (or reveal to her family & friends) that her husband has left her. She fabricates stories pretending that he is still around.

This book is an excellent coming of age story about a housewife who finds herself while looking for her husband. Great characters and surprising plot twist.

Good story. Nina Solomon has a nice way of making you feel like you can "see" the people and places of the characters.

I read this book in one day. It's not a gripping page turner, but I really wanted to find out what happened to the main character, Grace (and her husband, Laz). I liked Grace, she is written well, and I identified with aspects of her. Although, if she were a real person, I would want to shake her to make her come to her senses quicker. This is a modern day drama about a marriage, and about how easy it is for women to slip into being someone they never intended to be.
