I tried to read this book; I really did. It's about a woman dealing with a recent separation and a pending divorce. When I started the book, it seemed like it was going to be similar to a prime time soap opera (think "Desperate House Wives"), but I gave up reading after about a 100 pages because it didn't pick up. This poor woman wasn't blind-sided by the divorce, but didn't want it, either. She's sullen and dejected and not sure how to go on. She has a son, but his character is rather undeveloped; I get the feeling he just sulks around the house a lot and complains about life in general. It might turn out to be a good book, but it just isn't working for me. The plot is too sedentary and the characters are too whiny. Granted, it seems true to life, but I read to escape reality and found this book depressing.
