...which means it was good!!!  I bought this book a couple of weeks ago, after someone suggested it on FB. Had never heard of the author, so I wasn't sure what to expect. I kept putting off reading it, and then yesterday, I decided to take the plunge. Such a good story! I really liked Bree; I especially liked that she was nothing like what I would expect a former pro ball player's wife to be like. And I liked that she wasn't a perfect wife and mother:  she worked too much, didn't spend enough time with her kids, and hated cleaning.  And she was constantly comparing herself to other women. All of this made her very authentic and real to me, because we all are guilty of at least one of these (several for me!). Bree is one of the most likable and realistic characters I've read about in a while.I didn't know what to make of Sean. While I believed that he was no longer messing around, I hated the way he kept insisting that Bree should have been over things by now. The hell? How do you just get over that?  While I know that this was Bree's story, I found myself wondering what Sean's thoughts and feelings were. I wish we could have gotten a peek inside his head, if only to know why he would do what he did, especially since Bree thought that things were fine.I really enjoyed the secondary characters in this book.  Jan reminded me a little of my sister, and Gigi was just the friend that Bree needed.  But Julia and Cassandra took the cake.  Both of them were nuts!  And Mack and Zach were adorable.  Kim, too.So glad I picked this one up!  Next up is Through the Lens.
