Rating: 3 out of 5

This story of a betrayed wife who has to forge a life for herself and her children is a credible one for our time and I was looking forward to see how she would manage after being a wife for thirteen years.However the story then jumped ten months and Abbey now has a successful PR business an apartment, and two children who apparently have no issues with their parents splitting up.Abbey was a likeable character, though her husband and so called best friend were stereotyped - I would have liked some character development so I could hate them even more, but I liked Abby's mother - a woman of good sense.And why did Shirl always greet her brother as if he was a naughty schoolboy with a 'Well, well, well?' I would have decked her!There was a lot of 'telling' as opposed to 'showing' and once Abby and Bill had got together the repeated 'dinner and bed' did get a bit tedious, I wanted something else to happen. The ending was predictable, but I was rooting for Abby and Bill to admit they belonged together, so I wasn't disappointed.As with another reviewer, my e-book copy had formatting issues with blank lines between sentences, and there were editing problems which pulled me out of the story a little, 'reticently?' and the repeated use of 'worst' instead of 'worse', plus some typos and grammar problems, but these were minor.Saying that, I would like to see what happens to Abbey and Bill in their idyllic Colorado home - it sounded lovely. I'm also looking forward to seeing Mayor Green get his!I received a free e-copy of this novel from Story Cartel in exchange for an honest review.
