Rating: 5 out of 5

Although I liked the overall storyline of Divorced, it took me a while to get into this book.  The beginning I felt was slow and the characters (Sam & Zach) did not grab my attention.  As I progressed through the story I saw how one would relate to the characters as they started off as young lovers in college, got married, and eventually divorced.The ups and downs the couple faces are relatable from possible pregnancy/family planning issues, job choices, to being able to communicate effectively with each other. The story also embarks on personal growth individually and as a couple and how the characters handle change.Initially I didn't like the end of the book where Zach & Sam meet.  It felt forced and/or awkward to me.  I also didn't like the dedication/inscription written by Sam for Zach- it left me feeling like there was a possibility of a reconciliation in the future which just didn't feel right for this couple to me.  After rereading the passages again and other passages in the book, I see there is no future between the two main characters.  The dedication/inscription written by Sam for Zach was beautiful and showed the lovely memories they would always share between the two of them.  I almost missed a truly magical ending if I had not been inspired to take another look.  Great writing Lexi Maxxwell!
