I really wanted to like this book. I think the idea of it is interesting... but it goes on for almost 300 pages and nothing interesting happens!! I think it is human to look back at your life and think what if I did this or that different. In Rebecca's case it is a romantic relationship. Now that her children are grown, her husband dead, she can't help but wonder about whatever happened to her college sweetheart that she dropped in order to marry a man with three daughters and a party throwing business. Maybe it just that I could not relate to the 53 yr old widowed grandmother of 6, or maybe it is just a boring book.
