As Simple As That

by K.A. Thompson

They were supposed to ride off into the sunset and live out the cliche of happily ever after. They were supposed to have two-point-five kids, buy a minivan, carve out a slice of suburbia, and stay healthy and young and beautiful forever. They weren't supposed to make mistakes, have tempers or fights or bad days. They weren't supposed to split up. But with 18 years of marriage, 4 kids, a cat, and The Issue between them, Chip and Terry Davis aren't quite sure what to do when the distance between them seems to far to cross--or what to do when a simple case of the flu and a stubborn teenager crosses it for them.

About the author

I'm currently living in mega-metropolis Dixon, CA (population 17,000) with a Spouse Thingy and two cats (Max the Psychokitty and Buddah Pest, both of whom are far more popular than I...and Max has his own books out there...) I also have an adult son who long ago escaped the confines of parental ineptitude and is pursuing his love of acting. The kid is seriously good--Srsly--so keep an eye out for Curt Thompson.

Again I still think they could have been written better but regardless the story is good, the characters are fantastic and the humor between the charcters remind me of people in my own life. I am already half way through the next book and plan to read them all!
