I'm conflicted about this story, because on the one hand as a romance novel ( I'm not even sure if it was meant to be marketed as such), in any case, as romance novel, it was a total let down. As a story about a woman who, after being content in a very dysfunctional relationship, and then at some point realizing that her true happiness was taking a back seat, and making an attempt at changing that, then I was mildly satisfied.The story itself was engaging and you kind of figured out the shyt would hit the fan long before it happened, but the path to getting there was somewhat entertaining.So here you have Prudence(Pru) who has pretty much accepted circumstances for a number of years then one day realizes that she doesn't want that anymore.I have no good comments on James. He was your stereotypical uppercut lawyer who thought he could have everything his way.. I really loathed him.Nadine was a woman scorned.. I really could not blame her for the way things went down.Ann was a straight up B*tch.. but again you have to ask yourself.. As a wife knowing what you know, could you really blame her?Jessica, you were set to believe she was one thing and then she ends up being something else. I wasn't quite sure where she really fit into the story.Then you have Richard who's pining away like lovesick puppy dog and who I believe is really selling himself short on being hung up on Prudence.Prudence needed to be by herself for awhile to Figure out what she wants.. She had too many people in her head. The ending was sorely lacking.. and unless the author plans a followup, I'm left feeling that Prudence will find some excuse to stray from the security of her friendship or whatever it is she has with Richard ( yet again).This was really a soap opera-esque story.. but it was written fairly well.As far as technicality- Sometimes I was thrown off with timelines.I would read more novels from this author.
