Every Day Book

Bizarre is the word that comes to mind as I finish this book and put it down! Main character Leigh got pregnant at a young age and had a son, when the child was 4 months old, the father walked out of their life......fast forward 14 years......now Leigh gets a post card from this man and he wants to meet her for lunch. Even though Leigh is now married to Simon, and they have two children together, plus Simon has adopted the boy from his wife's earlier relationship......she decides to go to meet the other man and have lunch. By the end of the day not only did they have lunch, and he tells her he is dying, but they also rekindle their sexual relationship. As the story goes on, Leigh's husband finds this all out, they separate, she goes to stay with her mom, she moves back in her house and she and her husband seem to call a truce for the children's sake, and then when this other mans health declines they move him into their home and take care of him, almost until his death!
Really can't relate to any of this, and really find it unbelievable that Simon the husband would let this take place in his home, and that Leigh would continue having relations with the other man, almost until his death, but yet she still wants her marriage intact, her husband and kids too!
As I gave my husband of almost 35 years a quick overview of the story, he laughed and said "well that wouldn't fly with me!" I agreed with him that it wouldn't work for me either! I guess in this day and age of anything goes, maybe this would work in some households, but it wouldn't work in mine, and I still feel like I have just read a very bizarre novel! Glad it was short....230 pages!
