I was given this book to read in exchange for my honest review.I was looking forward to reading this book due to its contents.Rotten abusive husband + marital affair. How would that equal out I wondered.I won't give the game away on that one, but it made for real interesting reading, there is no one that would 100% agree with an affair when married with children surely?This topic was handled in such a way that it made me think. OK, bad abusive husband, does this mean that I should find someone else to fill the gap, take me away from it all? Or should I be sorting my life out to protect my children.The girlfriends conversations in this story made me laugh sometimes, taking me away from the serious aspect of the topic.I thought the author did a very good job with the story, the only thing that let it down was the formating, but I have been in contact and its being addressed, so on that merit I have given it 4 stars.This is fiction, I reminded myself. But the aspect of how she threw herself into the affair with a younger man whilst seeking love, comfort and happiness with not only sexual abandon but family abandon left me breathless. Yes fiction, but I kept saying, "she's a Mom".Seeking happiness away from her abusive long term husband into the arms of someone else made me think, where on earth was all this going to end. Surely she should have ran out on her marriage, ended it, found happiness that way and for her children?You will have to read this book to see which she chooses.Just wait until the format is corrected.Fabulosity Reads
