Status Updates From Summer in the Moon Garden

I mean she has been thinking of divorce for 2 weeks, got served 1 week prior, and he pops up. It’s really just not my genre.

I received this book to try out as part of a contest giveaway on Goodreads. There is a lot of background and inner monologue and the book is about finding who you are and inner peace. The MFC, Kat, is going through a divorce, is an empty nester, and returns to her small hometown where she reminisces with her bestie, Jess, who is also marriage in the rocks and just won the lotto. There’s an ex that still loves her.

I really feel for Kat and Danny. I'm hopeful that Kat will see there is nothing left for her in Chicago and just leap in the direction of Danny and Criss Creek. I even think her boys would support that. As far as Jess and Eric go, well, I'm not surprised but at the same time, I think Jess is going to run out of money soon.

oooo-la-la Danny and Kat? I think YES! Still curious what Richard is up to while Kat is in her hometown. I mean is he selling the house? Is he screwing his secretary? Probably. He could also just be butt hurt by what she said and is doing all these childish things to get back at her. I feel like he is super irresponsible and childish.

I don't foresee this marriage of Kat and Richard's getting better. I can't believe he would take her off the joint account or bring someone by to look at the house without consulting her. How could he not understand the memories that house possessed? I bet he is selling the house right now while she is gone. I bet he spent all their money and needs more because he is so over his head in debt. Poor Kat.

So far, this is slow starting. It seems like the main character is doing a bunch of things at once. She is making food, she is looking at the frames on the wall, she is looking at the pamphlet in her cookbook, she is reading said pamphlet and going over what she is going to say to her husband, she is looking at her son's textbook and reminiscing on things with her two sons. It's a little overwhelming to read.
