Where to start… This book was incredible. It was a relatable story with everyday life characters. I could literally name names of people I know that fit each of them. I’ve dealt with many crazy ex-wife women like Ruth in my life, and I’m sure there are more lurking out there ready to spit on me. Brooklyn is the product of a broken girl, struggling to put the pieces of her life together, and we as the reader, are right there with her every step of the way.Everyone has a story, and Brooklyn’s is no exception. The choice to leave her husband and pursue her own happiness has its costs. With a health issue, old friends and a broken family to now worry about, Brooklyn isn’t in for an easy ride. However, her knight in shining armor, Bo, is there to help her every step of the way. Although – as with every single person over the age of 25 --Bo brings along some baggage – a haunting ex-wife names Ruth. Uggghh. Bring in the strait jacket and ankle cuffs, because this woman is a legit psycho.There are times, where I’m not sure how Bo or Brooklyn deal with the awful things that spew from that woman’s mouth, and just when you think things will somehow get better, they get worse.The author did an excellent job at keeping the reader interested all the way to the end, and telling a remarkable story of an average woman, who wasn’t average at all. I will definitely recommend this to my friends.
