Review # 1 was written on 2019-11-03 00:00:00 Drake Blaze Rachel Keats and Jack McGill had been divorced for six years when he got the call. She was in accident and at the hospital, would he come? Bitter, Jack thought he would drive up from San Francisco -Rachel lived in Big Sur- settle his daughters, see that Rachel had everything she needed and return to his previous lifestyle. After all, she had left him once before. Except when he arrived she was in a coma. Through painstaking flashbacks, Jack had time to reckon his marriage, career and relationships. He fought an uphill battle to reestablish a link with his daughters. He rehashed what were now seen as miscommunications between Rachel and himself. He saw the final years of his marriage in a different light all the while, traveling back and forth between the hospital, the girls' schools and Rachel's home. Other readers pointed out the repetitioness and Jack's friendship with Rachel's best friend, Katherine, as obstacles. I never thought this. It was a cathartic journey for Jack, a brief time of growing up for his daughters and an eye-opening quickening that friendships are important. I loved this story with all its emotions rising to the challenge. I was embedded in the romance from beginning to end. The closest I can compare this plot of a marriage-gone-wrong and second chances is Theresa Weir's One Fine Day.

Review # 2 was written on 2011-10-31 00:00:00 Steve Zagorski This is my first time reading this author and I must say, I really enjoyed the book. Well written with great "older" characters. Jack and Rachel have been divorced for six years ... although I thought the premise of the separation and the divorce was a bit far-fetched - all happened too quickly to my mind. But that is neither here nor there as it did happen and it was in the past and this story is set further down the line. "You're an insensitive shit, Jack. No wonder she divorced you." Yikes! Rachel has some loyal friends ... Jack rushes to Big Sur from San Francisco after Rachel is in a traffic accident and is in a coma. They have two teenage daughters (God bless any of you with teenage daughters, LOL. Not sure I would have been able to handle them - two boys were fine for me)! "Does she have a favorite scent?" "Lily of the valley." Secondary characters were interesting. It is all a waiting game to see if Rachel will wake up ... and if she does, what will happen between her and Jack. Great descriptions of Monterey and Carmel and Big Sur. I want to live there. I have visited it and would love to go back - probably in the season when there are fewer tourists (if that even exists in that part of the world)! I will definitely check out more by this author and I do hope that some more of the books are about older characters ... they were only in their forties so not as ancient as me but better than a twenty something! Although one of the secondary characters was 53!
