I’m sorry to hear you found it disappointing. I really enjoyed this one and it was one of my favorites in 2009. I usually don’t enjoy books that are too much about feelings either, but I really appreciated the author’s approach in this one. Hopefully you enjoyed your next read better!

I have difficulty reading too much women’s fic, but I really liked this book.

I read this book awhile ago and I liked the way the author handled the grief, the absolute lack of belief that he was really dead and whether she was hallucinating or what whenever she thought she saw her husband. I also liked the way the author portrayed the husband. What extents people could also go to hurt so much people whom you love (or rather thought you loved)

This sounds interesting and rather sad. I’m not sure this is the right time for me to read it.

I am not sure if I would love this book or hate it. I often have a touchy relationship with women’s fiction, and though some of it works for me, often times it just makes me a little apathetic. Thanks for the unflinching review of this one. Still not sure if it will end up on my list or not.

I often struggle with women’s lit for a variety of reasons. I have this on my shelf and, like you, I don’t know why I keep passing it by for something else. I’ll likely get to it one of these days.
