This was a quick read because it was the same ol', same ol' for 250 something pages. The main character is a weak and shallow woman. I find it hard to believe she's a published writer because she has no true thoughts in her head. She's beyond co-dependent, but that's not the problem, the problem is she doesn't change. She has some pretty big life changes going on, but they don't change her, not one bit. She just transfers her co-dependency to different people, but never longs to figure out how to do anything on her own. It's fine to start a character out this way, but to go the whole book with no personal growth....Ugh!
And her daughter is a huge bitch. So hostile and unappreciative. Yep, her mom is a meddling mom, but honestly, she doesn't meddle enough to warrant the ongoing, ever present hostility and chastising. Nary a nice word comes from this girl's lips. Again, it's fine to start out like this, but I for one like to see character development as the story goes along. This gal keeps secrets from her mom, talks to her like a child, and is always showing displeasure at everything her mom is, well, no wonder her mom keeps treating her like a child, this "kid" (27 years old) behaves like a little brat! 250 something pages of "brat" was just shallow and annoying.
She's a writer - unbelievable. Her husband withdraws almost a million bucks from their account without telling her - unbelievable. He has a house built for her on the other side of the country without consulting her - unbelievable. The list goes on and on. This book is why I've moved away from popular fiction.
