I like to read the occasion family drama but this was just ridiculous! First of all, and most annoying for me, is how Michaels has these looooooong paragraphs of dialogue by one character, just rambling. Not only is it not realistic to how most humans interact, but it's annoying to read. This is the first book I've read by her, or the first one I remember, and based on this one I would never pick up another. IN FACT, I read the first half of the book painfully, then skipped to the last chapter or so just to get closure. Sure enough, it ended just as I expected. There were no redeeming qualities to reading this book. No humor, not even a great love story. Just a woman in denial about the jerk she stayed married to for 20 years, something everyone (even her kids) knew but she couldn't see. Until the last few chapters @@. UGH! I just wish I could get those couple of hours of my life back!
