Happy reading.

This book sounded familiar so I looked back and sure enough, I read it in 2012. I gave it 3 stars but didn't write a review.

This was a story about a couple who gets into a routine in their marriage. The story goes back and forth in time from 1977 to 2005. The what ifs and the road not taken enters into this story. It started a little slow for me but it definitely picked up and I ended up enjoying this book.

I agree, Arlene. I liked it too. I thought she did the main character well, and showed how she changed over the years.

I'm giving up on this for now. I've been picking it up and putting it down for over six months now. Of course it's been a pretty crazy year with my mom's death so perhaps my head just hasn't been in the right place for this one. I'll try again later.

I'm only 65% of the way through this book but I am loving it! I think it is so charming and funny and the characters feel so real to me. Really lovely writing style - a book that I am genuinely enjoying!
