review 1: For a book from an unknown author, I found this a refreshing book indeed! The plot started on Annie getting tired on her married life, where the routine is the same all day in an out, and Annie lost her enthusiasm towards her marriage. She's married to Dan, her high school sweetheart but shouldering a great burden, hence Annie felt neglected. And then, opportunity came for Annie to make her name at Broadway! Dan, her stable everlasting husband, gave his permission, giving her a break one year off her marriage. Somehow, in the first place, I felt the plot was quite patchy, even though Dan loves Annie, he always had things to do and neglected her. Annie cried her heart out when she found that Dan couldn't came for her first Broadway performance at New York city. But their ma... morerriage was tested on all the way, when Jack, Annie's superior was interested in her.Dan had my redemption when he sent Annie a card, a simple card mentioning that he missed her. And then, they started to have real conversation via phone when Dan leave a message saying "Meet me at the moon."Somehow, sometimes, mis communication can lead to disastrous result. In the first place, they didn't communicate much and then, they opened up. The story could be better if the author explore Dan's feelings. It seemed one-sided at times where the author focus too much on Annie. But this is still a good book. A book that can leaves you feeling deliriously happy despite the predictable plot.
review 2: The book was quite depressing at times... don't know if it was the way the story panned out, or the way it was written, or how the main character was. I mean it really put across the situation really well, and one felt for the main character, but at the same time one just wanted the turmoil to end! The neglecting husband was beyond imaginable, and one hopes highly exaggerated. Also because the story dragged towards the end parts were skim-read...Also I found like many over reviewers annoyed by some of the language used i.e. 'Anyroadup'. The book was good for reflection perhaps. less
