Rodger does not like the idea of  Vegas so declines.  However they have vowed to make their marriage work even over the distance.Wendy finds herself stuck in a midlife crisis.I personally found this book to be humorous and very true to life.  I am not 45 but have had my own ups and down with marriage. I believe we have all had these thoughts and our own personal midlife crisis at any age. I have often dreamed about running away and starting fresh.  This is exactly what Wendy has decided to do.  You need to read the book to find out the stunning conclusion she came too.I give the book 4 out of 5 cocktailsGuest Reviewed by Larissa for Cocktails and Books.
