After sampling the book today, I found it very fascinating. Izzy's character is believable and engaging. I love how true it is for soon to be empty nesters to start evaluating their life. Women in particular since they no longer will have the responsibility of children. Your review was spot on. Great review.

A woman in a dilemma, having reached the crossroads in her life. This is an interesting study on how a woman coped up with her life, torn between family and the ramblings of her heart. Love turns up in the most unexpected of places, as they say. Is she a woman in distress here that a knight in shining armor comes to save her, like what fantasy stories always are made of? Thanks for this interesting review.

This sounds like an interesting character driven novel. Your review was awesome and I'll have to give this a read in order to know how Izzy dealt with her choices and the changes brought about.

Seems like Izzy can't put up with her husband, Jim, anymore. Loves the adventurous and easy life given by Sean. I like the inclusion of the therapy sessions for Sean, they will sure help a lot of alcoholics. Thanks for the review.

I read the first 2 chapters and was decently impressed by the writing. However, though I started out liking Izzy almost immediately, I was liking her less by the end...your review was so favorable I'm still thinking about giving it a chance, but I'm not sure.

Thanks for the detailed review. I love how it is so easy to relate to Izzy. She goes through the same struggles a lot of other women do. I am interested to find out more about Izzy and how her relationship with Sean progresses, if at all

A very heartfelt novel about one person's way of coping with stress in her life. But its encouraging her husband is taking therapy for his alcohol addiction. I like the fact that the author has included some of this therapy sessions. It sure will help a lot of folks out there interested in beating the habit. Thanks for your review.

I was wondering if Izzy's marriage takes center stage because in the Amazon blurb I've also read something about a murder investigation. I liked the author' writing style and I also noticed she knows how to make a character relatale. That's why I am asking. I am planning to add it to my reading list. Thanks for a great review!

Once again a perfect score is inappropriate. The reviewer listed quite a few editing and grammatical errors. Therefore the book is not perfect and should not be rated as such. Furthermore without reading the book, I feel the secondary characters should be living their own lives along the main characters drama, so the comment about the reviewer finding the secondary character running for office an unnecessary addition to the book to be miss guided. This review is miss guided in many ways.

Perhaps the author included Brdiget's character/storyline so she could be included in future books. It will definitely be interesting to see what the author does next!

I wasn't sure about this one, as it sounds like there's an awful lot going on, but after reading your review, it sounds more appealing. I like the addition of the exploration of Jim's addiction which would seem to be at the heart of the story and the reason behind Izzy's want for change. This just might be a good one for me to read after all. Thanks for your insight!
