Worth reading...well-written...fascinating kids! I enjoyed watching Margaret develop a spine. I wanted to know what happened to her ex...I've decided he met w/a horrible, painful, gruesome death. Sorry, not sorry.

After a long dry spell of not reading due to having 3 kids in 3 years, I returned to my books with this novel which was sitting on my book shelf for what seems years and years.

I enjoyed this story because the main character Margaret, was very relatable. She was in her early 30's, with 4 children going through a divorce which brought about many changes in not only her life but her children's as well. Then of course comes the greatest change a new love interest. It's your typical struggle to happiness story but still very enjoyable read.
