Ok so I finished the book. It took a while but I did it. As others have said this book was very...wordy. Every single thought that went through the man characters head was put down. So much could have been cut out it would have made it better and easier to read.At the begining of the book I felt for the main character. Feeling overwhelemd and stagnant not really knowing her place. Been there done that. It sucks. And I understand driving almost 3 hours away and into another country for bubble bath. That all made sense to me and actuay had me laughing.But then the laughing stopped and the eye-rolls began. She never called her husband...and just assumed he wouldn't know what happend...aparently she never planned on telling him. But she was shocked that 1) her collegues called when she dissapeard, He figured out where she was through her credit cards and she seemed shocked. even more shocked and kind of angry that he asked if she was having an affair.*SPOILERS*Ok So she decides without talking to her husband about any problems what so ever she is having, trying to explain that she is unhappy, or even giving him a cursory head's up, That she is staying for a month. She gets a job, an apartment, and hey apparently just for giggles a new boyfriend...but still seems to think that her husband should just like be ok with this and understand? This is not a case of "Guys don;t like change". This is the main character being selfish. Period. And for the record she is married to a guy that while yes..h.he has his faults, is not some horrible guy that she seems intent on making him out to be. In the end she goes home, paints the entire freaking house, throws all the furniture out in he yard and tells him...this is the way things are so accept it or we wont work. Really?*end spoiler*The author did a great job with character development and I commend anyone who has written and published their work. It's an accomplishment they should be proud of. Not every book is going to be something thta everyone like either...and that is just what this was for me. Not my style or taste.
