I started out really liking this story.  I was immediately pulled into all the angst and suffering from all the characters.  But after the first couple of chapters I could not stand any character in this book.  For the life of me I cannot fathom why authors think it is romantic to have a h chastely await for the H to come back to her while the H is having sex with anything with a skirt.  That was my first problem with this book.  In this case the H even publically declared how happy he was to be rid of the h and had sex with all willing females he came across yet the h still could not move on.  She was just pathetic.The H wasn't great either.  I probably would have felt a little more endearment for the H had he actually acted more like he loved the h as much as he loved himself.  He said he loved her, but their relationship was never a priority in his life.  Even when the H and h were married, the H was involving himself in sexually inappropriate behavior with other females.  He never mourned their relationship instead he jumped into bed the same night his wife left it.  Essentially, the H is a weak character who always put his needs above everyone else, never loved the h enough to be a husband to her but whined about the marriage when he didn't have it.  Normally a reader can get over such betrayals if the H shows enough remorse and growth.  However, he acted just as apathetic when the h and his girlfriend were in the same room together.  This would have been a great opportunity to see the H reject unwanted advances and reassure the h that he would always act with her feelings in mind but that never happens.  Where is the growth that this character supposedly had?  Even taking all this into consideration the worse part of this book was when the h apologizes TO HIM.  TO HIM!  So, he abandons her after the death of their child, is never home, she sees tabloid all the time in questions behavior and when she goes to look for him he is sucking off shots off OW necks but she apologizes to him for not staying.  I guess if you are from the "stand by your man" school of thought you'll enjoy this book.
