review 1: No surprises here -- you know what's going to happen from the first sentence. It's a pie-in-the-sky romance, pure and simple. But having been married twice and engaged a couple of other times, I found the character's introspection familiar, especially the growing sensation that perhaps you married someone you really never got to know very well, and now that you have more experience, realize that perhaps you made an eyes-wide-open mistake. I had a friend once tell me that marriage had less to do with finding the right person and more to do with being the right time. I think he was probably right. But sometimes, the "right time" does not yield the "right person" to create the "right" relationship.
review 2: I liked this book and read it in two sittings. The auth... moreor has startling insightfulness into a relationship that is "good enough" but not "great". What I didn't like was how easy she made it for Gwen. What started out as a really tough question of honoring your commitments in a relationship that has nothing wrong with it to take a better offer became a non-question, a no-brainer. **** SPOILER**** The Peter/Helen affair was just to convenient, it gave her the perfect out she was looking for to pursue anything she ever wanted without feeling any guilt because Peter had already ruined the relationship, not her. I felt like she dodged the real question: Should the character settle for "good enough" when there is a possibility of something "great" out there. less
