She made so many bad decisions. James, her husband, was also dull and quite clueless about what was going on in his home. I didn't feel the least bit of spark between them. Even though I anticipated the ending it felt quite abrupt. Should have followed my instincts and DNFd. ( ) Interesting there are no reviews for this book. What we have is a woman of questionable mental health. She is being driven nuts by her widower now-husband's sons, who deeply resent her move into their deceased mother's house. Callie, this new wife, finally desperately clings to one of her son's 17-year old friends for comfort. When she decides to call it off, things don't go well. There is a twist at the end that I did not see coming. While, yes, viewing the situation from the reader's perspective you wonder about some of their actions, it's different when you are in the middle of it. I could not put it down, I stayed up way past my bedtime to keep reading, and now that I have finished it I worry I won't find another as compelling to read. no reviews | add a review
