I think that this is the author's first book and it is well done. The characters are complex and interesting, the writing is excellent and the plot is good. The conflict between being the "perfect" wife that her husband coached her to be when she was very young and the need to be a person in her own right ten years down the road is very real. With shades of  "Pygmalion", the husband doesn't know how to cope when his creation steps down from the pedestal and begins thinking and wanting things for her own fulfillment, not just his. When she leaves, he is floored and it takes a huge shift in both husband and wife's thinking to even begin to try finding a middle in which to meet. I liked the wacky things she tried, wardrobe and worldwide, just because she could. Very funny. I enjoyed this story, it wasn't what I was expecting and that gave it the extra pop that it needed.Heat factor hot.
