review 1: Definitely a roller coaster... When I saw a tagline that has that phrase, I tend to think that it wouldn't be that effective. However, it was! I bought this book months ago and I finally had a chance to read it. This author is new to me.But I'm glad that I got the chance to try her out. This book... It starts with this woman who was trying to keep her life together after finding out that her husband was cheating on her with her own best friend. How dare she do that to this woman? And worst of all, she was in the doctor's room being informed that she has cancer.. breast cancer. That's scary from the doctor who happened to be the best friend's husband. She found out that he had known for a while.Then her life falls apart... So many trials that one would think that she's a sa... moreint. Then she did have a mental breakdown at one point and honestly, I actually commended her for taking it in stride for SO LONG! I think that if I was in her shoes, I probably would have broken apart at a previous event that changes my life. No wonder why people are telling her that she's amazing, amazing. And she wonders why people thinks her of that so obviously she has self-esteem issues that I don't think anyone realizes until later in the story.I would give this a 5 star but there were few lines that were too repetitive - "You're my only wish"... "Untenable..." and so on and on. There were a few grammatical errors like the author forgot to put a " in the sentence to complete it. Name was misspelled a couple times. However, it was not enough to distract me from the story which was nice! However, the repetitive lines were what made me drop one star. I still will read one of her books and I'm glad to see that I also have another of hers - Seeing Julia!
review 2: With friends like this, who needs enemies? Apparently this woman did as I'm sure they would have treated her better than her supposed best friend. Hell, even better than her husbands, first AND second.This book left me drained and depressed. For a h touted as being so strong and extraordinary, I wished she had even more backbone to walk away.Seriously. If I was surrounded by only these people, death would have been merciful.The writing was actually good; but the storyline was unbelievable... at least in my mind it was. It would send me spiraling downward to realize this really does happen. less
