I read this book this afternoon while my babe slept in my arms. It is an excellent portrayal of just how messy life and love can be. I think we all have a fairy tale idea about what love is, and then real life happens and we're left with a shadow, sometimes an empty skeleton of what we envisioned life to be like.This is just that sort of tale, that follows a military wife who's found herself pressured into a marriage that probably should have never happened, but as life unfolds, she finds love and happiness, but things don't always end in a happily ever after.I was very happy with this story, and it's very realistic look at what a love-less marriage looks like, adultery, and the scars it burns in everyone involved. This was a great, complete book. While it didn't have your typical, they lived happily ever after, thank you for that(!), there was closure and peace and as we all learn as we grow up, life is messy, love is even messier.A bitter sweet book that doesn't leave you sad, but has you hugging your own babes and counting your blessings.
