| For most of the book I understood Gabby. I could relate to Gabby. I even felt a little bad for Gabby. But in the end when she fell for the "okey doke", I knew it was all downhill from there. She ruined her life, or did she? I disagree with a lot of the actions Gabby's character took, but I could understand her issues. She wasn't a complete bag guy, nobody is a saint after all. I liked the fact that this title wasn't a traditional romance, it was probably more in the chick lit category. Instead of a boy meets girl story, it's about the downfall of a good marriage and it was served up with a big dose of reality, which I can appreciate. The ending was positive and ended things in a happier place. While I like a more realistic ending, I liked it. After all the drama, it was nice to see Gabby get back on track. | |
I enjoyed the audiobook, but I'd like it better if all the characters didn't have an British accent. The story was great, so I'd recommend reading it. I'd like to read more by Jane Green. If you've ready anything by her, please do recommend something for me.
