If You Only Knew

I am huge Higgins romance fan so I requested this from the library as soon as I saw the title. I didn't realize she was shifting "smoothly and poignantly into women's fiction" so I was a little surprised when my request was a trade paperback with "a novel" on the cover. The writing remains page turning, the characters feel real, and she nailed both New York City and snippy suburban moms. I do hope that she isn't abandoning the romance genre for good. I enjoyed this book a lot and it moved me to tears. However, there are days when all I'm looking for is a happy romance without thoughts of infidelity and divorce looming large.
