Review # 1 was written on 2019-08-11 00:00:00 Jim Lyza Kristin Hannah spoils me with her amazing writing. I'm sure I'll have to turn in my "man card" for saying this, but she melted me with this story about Annie, a woman who gets a second chance at life after having twenty years of marriage and her life uprooted by her cheating asshole husband. While it's not "The Nightingale" or "The Great Alone," it's still an easy 5 stars, and better than 99.9999999% of the books you'll read.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-05-14 00:00:00 Alan Haywood CHICK-LIT BLURB Annie Colwater's husband has just confessed that he's in love with a younger woman. Devastated, Annie retreats to the small town where she grew up. There, she is reunited with her first love, Nick Delacroix, a recent widower who is unable to cope with his silent, emotionally scarred young daughter. Together, the three of them begin to heal. But just when Annie believes she's been given a second chance at happiness, her world is turned upside down again, and she is forced to make a choice that no woman in love should ever have to make. COMMENTS: Growing up meant to cut her waist-length hair at the age of thirty-nine - a symbolic act. No more playing the young girl in a woman's body. Life threw her a curve ball and tested her ability to change and grow. For the right audience: yes. For me: No. Too formulaic, predictable. Nothing new. Clichéd. You read one, you read them all. Giving a friend a new lease on life, being inspirational, was noble. Third star is for that. The ending was GREAT, if the double-impact, sort of, is ignored ! But perhaps that's just the thing. It leaves something to talk about.
