I've read every one of Ms. Gudenkauf's books. If this had been the first one I would never have read any of her others. This one was such a let down. I had the feeling that she was pushed to write a book and had no original idea for a story. This was a redundantly told story with a very predictable ending. The main character Sarah was overstepping her bounds throughout the storyline and able to do things that I thought were available to her too fast. I felt no connection to her secretive husband Jack. They kept mentioning their twin daughters who were off at school, who had no bearing to the storyline. His sister Amy, an important character in the story, was a joke with no resolution within the storyline. It was just a sad overall concept for a story written in an unsuccessful way. Sorry...this one did not hit the mark.
