This was such an amazing story and so different from what I have been reading.  First its written in the 3rd person, all from the female POV.  I am not normally a fan of this style but it actually fit the story.  2nd there were flashbacks, that again I am not fond of, but these flashbacks were written perfectly.  For two things I don't like I couldn't put the book down and think it was one of the better books I have read all year.The story is about a couple Jenny & Chris, married 21 years with 3 sons older sons.  There marriage is falling apart, Jenny has had an affair (which is in the book description) and Chris has been a workaholic the entire marriage and not there for Jenny.  Chris takes Jenny away to a lakeside cabin by surprise the same weekend she was planning on asking for a divorce.  She is surprised, not happy & shocked he knows about her affair.  The book takes place over the next 72 hours with them working on there problems.  And when I say working I mean fighting some very harsh words at times.  The book flashes back to through their life starting from when they met, wedding day, and some very hard & emotional things they went through to having kids.  Over the weekend every feeling is aired out and the couple doesn't know if they will survive the damage that has been done to their marriage.  The emotions are running high and my heart was breaking for the both of them.I couldn't put this book down.  I wish I could read Chris POV but it came through in his words and actions.  I am married and honestly don't know what I would do in their situation.  I found even though she cheated and he did some not so nice things (I don't want to have spoilers) I wanted this couple to stay together and make it through.  It had me on the edge of my seat like any who-done-it suspense waiting to see it they will pull through and I honestly had no idea what the ending would bring.  And I won't say anything else for the ending because you have to read it to find out.i highly recommend this book and will look for more from the author.
