review 1: Heather Wardell is my "go to" author when I need a light, chick-lit read that isn't overly sappy and has some substance to it.The main character, Andrea, has been with Alex for 14 years...half of her 28 years and all of her adult life. When Alex dumps her without forewarning, Andrea's life is turned upside down. She soon realizes that she based her entire life on what Alex likes and wants and never really developed an identity of her own, despite being well educated. While this often made me want to shake Andrea out of pure frustration, it makes complete sense given she was with him during her impressionable teen years. As a way of pulling herself together and hopefully win Alex back, Andrea decides to become the opposite of who she was by trying a whole bunch of different... more things.Throughout the course of this journey, Andrea learns a lot about herself, who she wants to be and finally, who she wants to be with.Interesting storyline that you can read at face value, or you can use to look closer at who you've become and or want to become.
review 2: Oftentimes we'll read these chick-lit books and find ourselves identifying w/ the female lead and coveting the male lead. What I really liked about this book is that in the case of all the main and sub characters (Andrea, Loren, Wendy, Mark, George), I find myself just wanting to be their friends! Nothing mind-blowing or especially memorable about the book...but a sweet, quick read and great time-passer. less

Why do all of Wardell's heroines wear shawls? Is it 1978?
