    Middle age blues
  

*by J***L on Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2017*

I have never read about a character that took everything in her life, and it is a nice life, for granted as does the protagonist, Gabby Cartwright. I have just recently starting reading Jane Green's novels and so far for me, this is her best yet.I got so engrossed in the story that I wanted to shake Gabby. She is a stay at home mom with two beautiful daughters and a very loving husband. She proceeds down a path that leads to nothing but pain and loss.I don't want to give any more of this away but I found it so well done that I kept wanting to say to Gabby, "no don't do this". I think this is a cautionary tale for those who are perhaps caught up in low self esteem.I found the ending to be completely unrealistic, but I still think this is one of the best Jane Green novels for me so far because I really got caught up in Gabby's story.  This is a five star for me.

    Unlikable main character led to a frustrating read
  

*by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2014*

This book frustrated me. It centered around Gabby, a 40-something married mother, and her husband Elliot, as they deal with Gabby's infidelity. After meeting a younger man on a girls' night out, Gabby develops an infatuation with him. For the first quarter of the book, she proceeds to rationalize to herself why she's doing nothing wrong and it's a harmless crush, all while continuing to communicate and flirt with this man, lie to her husband, and treat her husband like dirt.I think the main reason this book irritated me was because I found Gabby pretty unlikable. She was really judgmental and shallow, and kept trying to rationalize everything that she did wrong, while putting down other people. Also, from the very beginning of the book it seemed like she was trying to justify cheating on Elliot. She wants another baby, Elliot doesn't, so he goes and gets a vasectomy. It seemed that she didn't take any responsibility, when perhaps she should have more clearly communicated her desire to have another baby to him, so Elliot was aware how much another baby meant to her. Instead it seemed like she was secretly seething and using that as an excuse down the line to cheat.Anyway, the vasectomy sets the stage for the book, and after rationalizing her actions, Gabby ends up doing something she regrets. The first part of the book builds up to her cheating, and the rest of the book deals with the fallout from that action. I just didn't care much for the storyline, mostly because of Gabby's character. I've read nearly all of Jane Green's other books, and would recommend picking up any of those before this one. However, if you can look past the obnoxious lead character, or if you're intrigued by the storyline, give it a shot.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    "Delicious"? Maybe...kind of. But not so satisfying.
  

*by A***S on Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2017*

I've never read anything by Jane Green prior to picking up this book for a "beach read" for a summer trip. It served it's purpose as a quick, light-ish read. But I did have some significant issues with it. For one, the amount of times "delicious" is used as an adjective, not in reference to food. Another, how "explainy" the protagonist is about her feelings and justifications for pursuing the affair. We get it. And then subsequently how guilty and worthless she felt. We get it. There wasn't much redeeming or dimensional about her. And then there's the "gazillionaire" boy toy and his "Aw shucks" personality. Complete then with internet famous one-name girlfriend. Please. One of my biggest issues was the BFF Claire. Backstabbing, catty b****. So stereotypical. So disappointing. BUT, I do like that Gabby doesn't go for the easy forgive and forget with her. So many loose ends, as well. What happened with Alanna and her troubles at school and with her peers and social pressure? What happened with the furniture business? The ending was rushed and trite. Meh. I don't think I'll be picking up anything else by this author in the near future.
