I seldom write reviews as I don't always know what to say, but I felt I needed to add my "2 cents" to the list of other reviewers. I am a "true-blue" romance reader, and have been for many years. I love the opportunity to experience the works of authors I have not yet read. Such was the case with this book. The synopsis appeared interesting, the reviewers seemed to love it and I purchased the book, hoping for a great read. Unfortunately, I did not receive anything close to what I was expecting.I found the story line to be very unsettling and depressing. Page after page, the anger, hostility and depression I felt regarding the central characters was very frustrating. I read for enjoyment, and this was anything but that. It's unfortunate that the author chose to use such dysfunctional characters to supply the central line of the story.Divorce, or the consideration of divorce is often a very "messy", emotional and stressful time. If it was the author's intent to focus on the the "nastiness & verbal cruelity" of one spouse to another while trying to find a common goal, they definitely succeeded.I kept hoping that I would find a "rainbow" after the storm, but even the "happy ending" lacked enough color to erase my disappointment.
