***THIS REVIEW IS FULL OF SPOILERS***Lily is a happily married, stay-at-home mom of three teenaged kids. Well, she thought her marriage was happy until one day she catches her husband, Charlie, with the neighbor. In that instant her whole life falls apart. But, she doesn't confront him. She doesn't let him know she saw him. Okay I get it, I wish she would have, but she's in shock, she wants to decide what to do and find out all of the facts before telling him she knows. So I wait...Lily makes an appointment for a consultation with sexy divorce attorney, Eli, to see what her options are. Over the next few weeks (Yes *exasperated sigh* she goes on for months living at that house like nothing is wrong, gathering evidence, and trying to make enough money to leave)Lily and Eli build a friendship and some sexual tension while Lily does some office work to pay off her legal fees. Still waiting...While at the salon, trying to become a desirable woman again instead of a harried housewife, Lily meets an older woman who offers her the answer to all of her money problems. You know, just a little prostitution. Why Lily thought she would lose everything in the divorce I have no idea. Charlie makes six figures, they have a nice house, cars, no prenup, and she has evidence of his indiscretions. I get that she didn't want "Charlie's money" but hooking is really the only option? Still waiting...Well, she gave it a go and was terrible at it and I saw that twist coming from a mile away. Plus, now she can no longer take the moral high ground because she, too, is a cheater. I kept reading because I was sure Lily's confrontation with Charlie was going to be epic. Wrong. It didn't happen until the end and there was little drama. Maybe I took this book too seriously. I think it was supposed to be light and fun but it really just ticked me off.
