Falling For Him by Anne ConleyReview by Mary Beth<3 <3 <3<3 <3Fate is a funny thing.Have you ever been with someone you know is your other half but you lose your way? Well, that is what happens to Amy and Bryan. They have been married for 18 years and have two beautiful children, but they went off course somewhere. They both feel underappreciated and unloved and end up finding other finding someone else to fill that void.This is a story of what happens when two people are together for a long time. They start to take each other for granted and don't realize what they have and what they want are one in the same.  The sad truth is that everyday couples throw a lifetime of memories and adventures away because they no longer feel validated and loved by the one they decided to share their life with.From the first few words of this story I was hooked, I could not put this book down. While I knew from the beginning where this story was going, I wasn't really sure how Ms. Conley was going to get us there. She made the journey from start to finish interesting engaging. The characters she has created with Amy and Bryan was so realistic and relatable that I could see myself as Amy. As a wife and mother of three myself I understand some of her frustrations and wants, but it also gave me the flip side of that coin with Bryan's thinking. This story opened my eyes to the male perspective which as a female I don't normally have. Going through the gambit of emotions of hurt and betrayal and love and satisfaction while reading this book was exhausting but so well worth it.
