So this is story of Jake and Liz. I was really torn on this one. I'm 42 years old myself (but not a mom), but all I could think of while reading this book was HOW could she really not be missing her kids more?? Really?? What kind of mom or how messed up is she?Pros for the story: How Jake kidnapped her- I had chills. The location, the seclusion, very good. The way the story talked about not just Liz's thoughts on her poor marriage- but also what her husband was thinking- that was nice. Jake and Liz- I thought their relationship developed in a sort of realistic kind of way. It talked about her being 'maternal' (ha!)as she hugged and comforted him during a PTSD episode. They became friends and then things grew from that.Cons- I just go back to the idea of a mom being so la-de-da about her kids. Can't see it. Or, if she is. than it's not the kind of woman I want to like.I will say I did like how the book ended. I thought it was very nice, HEA, and realistic.
