Didn't enjoy this one. Main character (Callie) was incredibly boring and whiney. 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. ( )
