Out of all of Amy Havatny's books, this one stands out! A real moving story that gets you sucked in from the first page. It is the story about a husband and his ex wife who share two children in common. The husband has moved on and started dating a new woman who he proposes to. The issues surrounding the ex wife and the fiancee are true to life. And the young daughter's conflicts are all told with a realness that you can understand. I liked how she told it from all three female characters and the pace was just right. I could not put down the story since there is a mystery about what happens to the ex wife and the pain that comes from her death. It brings up a lot of issues tied into what is family....is it merely by blood or due to how one cares for another person. I see a movie coming out of this book. All the three story lines and differing points of views you can relate to.
