Lily's Story

review 1: Lily Lambert after 19 years married to a man who took away her sense of self has decided she wants a change now that her two twin boys are college age. She has no idea that what starts out with her just joining a gym to finally work on losing the weight her husband has always made fun of her for will result in causing such traumatic and heartbreaking effects on the herself. The title to this book says it all. This is not an easy book to get through. You are rooting for Lily in the beginning to make those positive changes. You can see her marriage has been a sham and she deservers so much better. And at first she does start to get those things. The secondary characters are wonderful in both books. Her best friend is happy for her finally seeing that she’s been married to... more a controlling man that killed her self esteem. She meets wonderful friends at the gym and even a man who makes her feel like no other. When she starts this journey she didn’t set out to fall in love and break her marriage vows. Even though she deserves to be happy she didn’t take the path to get there she should have and karma comes around and causes devastation. The end of this book is not a happy ending. But this is only Part 1 of Lily’s story. Even though its painful to read and the cheating a big trigger for many in romance world, the 2nd part of Lily’s story in Full Circle was so powerful and rewarding to read you understand that the first part had to happen to get to the second part. Both books in this series should be read back to back to get the Full Circle effect (pun intended)
review 2: An emotional read and one I know lots of women could relate to.I found Lily an amazing character and although she lacks so much self confidence she made a stand to change her life. Ok, it wasnt how she imagined the change occuring but it happened for a reason.SPOILER ALERT:So the reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars was because of the ending. Whilst I felt Lily, Greg and Ethans actions were all so real, James left me disappointed. He was clearly too good to be true, we got that but he did genuinly seem to be in love with Lily and I honestly thought he would at least have had chance to explain himself. We never got to hear James side of the story and why he felt the need to keep Lily in the dark. Ok,so maybe we are led to believe he was just doing it for the money but I cant help feel there was more to it than that and he hasnt had chance to say.Ok...maybe I am taking this all way too seriously but I wanted Lily and James to have had time to discuss what happened and not just end where it did.This is a great read, very emotional and sad. 23.01.14-Star rating 5 as had not realised at time of this review that there was a follow series. less
