Review: Disturbing and heartbreaking, but hard to put down
Rating: 4 out of 5

I found this book disturbing.. I almost didn't want to continue reading it, NOT because it was written poorly, but because of the content. Yet at the same time, it was hard to put down. I had a feeling it was going to be a difficult read because of the cheating, but it had such good reviews that I didn't want to pass it up.I hated Cathy, but at the same time I felt so sorry for her. It was heartbreaking and devastating to think of what she went through. BUT, I still don't condone what she did. Communication is so important in a marriage and it wasn't until the very end that she finally realized that. I was glad that she was honest with herself most of the time and didn't try to blame Ben for her choices, but gosh, I just wanted to smack her in the head! Especially from about 52% and on.Have to say that I totally didn't see that epilogue coming though - my mouth dropped open and I was so hoping that HE didn't do what he decided to - at the last minute when he changed his mind I literally sighed with relief. The entire book is just tragic. I was sad, but satisfied with how the book ended.
