Sensing this isn't exactly helping her achieve closure, Jenny trades the Manhattan skyline for her hometown up the Hudson, where she'll start her own business and bask in her sister Rachel's picture-perfect family lifeand maybe even find a little romance of her own with Leo, her downstairs neighbor, a guy who's utterly irresistible and annoyingly distant at the same time. Rachel's idyllic marriage, however, is imploding after she discovers her husband sexting with a colleague. She always thought she'd walk away in this situation, but her triplet daughters have her reconsidering her stance on adultery, much to Jenny's surprise. Rachel points to their parents' perfect marriage as a shining example of patience and forgiveness; but to protect her sister, Jenny may have to tarnish that memoryand their relationshipand reveal a family secret she's been keeping since childhood. Both Rachel and Jenny will have to come to terms with the past and the present and find a way to get what they want most of all.

When I want brain candy I head for Kristan Higgins. This one wasn‘t my favorite. Still a few laugh-out-loud moments but not her usual.

This book—Ripped me apart and sewed me back together. The emotions this author pulls to the surface is nothing less than phenomenal. Love, trust, betrayal, past haunts, the promise of a future —selflessness and selfishness —no rock is left unturned... and she throws in romance and humor to boot. Loved this 📖. I plan to gift this book to a few of my gal pals in need of a voice; a way to hear their feelings explored, dismantled, and validated. 5 *

#I finished this book this evening...it was really good. Ms. Higgins has quickly become a favorite after 2 books so I‘m glad she has a decent backlist I can enjoy.

Not my usual genre but I really loved this book. It wasn't your typical sappy romance and I appreciate that. The humor mixed in was a nice touch too. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

This is due back at the library tomorrow, and somehow I couldn't bear to take it back without finding out what happened.

Tea and a book tonight. This book has made me laugh out loud a few times. The main characters need to grow a backbone though. I guess I'll have to #waitforit

Sweet and hearty and the perfect Sunday read when I'm feeling blue after a fun, restorative weekend with family.

I am in the third chapter, not liking it so far. I have loved all of her books but this one is written a bit different. It's not funny or quirky, which is the reason I usually pick up her books. I might come back to it later but bailing on it now.

JackieSmith I like her romances, is this more New Adult? 8y
Varshitha @JackieSmith This one's much more serious than her other books, didn't like the plot much either.. 8y
JackieSmith @Varshitha That's what I thought from the blurb. *pass* 8y

The second by this author. A book club pick. So predictable and the characters so cookie cutter. Sigh.

This book is a bit of a departure from the previous books of her's I've read. It's more serious, less romantic. I really enjoyed it. I feel this book is more mainstream literature than romance. I would highly recommend it.
