Have you ever read a book or watch a movie and wonder what if the story is written in the prospective of another person. Perhaps the other woman or the best friend or the sister who left with the husband, someone. Well this book just show you that. Written in perspective of Carly and Michelle.

Carly caught Michelle sleeping with Her fiancé two days before her wedding. And Michelle ran off to join the army. A decade later, she came back after being shot in the line of duty. Together they had to work in keeping the inn where Carly and her daughter is staying afloat. With anger, jealousy and unresolved feelings, will they ever patch back to be the bestfriend they were once.

Story about friendship, moving on, forgiveness and trust, two women fight the odds to keep the business going.

We will alternate between these two females and get to see and feel both of their point of view. You can't fault one or the other or choose side in this story as both women are guilty. They suffered so much with parents who should know better. An interesting read to see different side of stories and getting the fact right.

Not many story are like this. So it helps you to sort of reflect on your life. The things you blame others of. Wondering what their story might be. And we should stop judging them first. Really makes you think back and see if you need to patch up and relationship with anyone. Or moving on from a grudge.

Ok it's really not part of the story. But I just like reading books that make me reflect. And seeing both point of views make me do that. I think Susan Mallery is author. I've read some of her past work, but only recently I found that she had written much much more. Can't wait to read them all. Even though most of them are guilty pleasure. Chicklit all the way!

Reading this book is just so close to home. A controlling aunt or person who sort of help you. Keep reminding you and everyone around about it, expect you to be grateful and pay for it your whole life. Like a trained dog just waiting to be called upon, doing duty after duty. Just never ending. A best friend who thinks you are not good enough. Helps you one minute and remind you what a useless person you are. Sounds familiar?
Meet Jayne Scott.

Her mon died when she was in high school. The Wordens, a wealthy family "adopt" her in, hoping to keep their own daughter Rebecca in check.

Rebecca is pissed off at her mother and everything she does is to piss her off. Including going out with her mom ex-affair dude, who end up creating trouble for Rebecca after she humiliated him. But thanks to that, it started the point of her and her mother to start growing closer again. And we can finally see the similarity between these two characters. Horrible, selfish persona. Really remind me of some people I know.

Another character is David, Rebecca's brother. Jayne liked him since the very beginning. And typical story.

I like how the story is written. It's very real and it's pretty short. It goes to the point. And no new surprises. The characters were all mentioned in the beginning. So no sudden new person came into the picture. Which is really nice and well written.
It's funny and witty makes you smile at the subtle jokes between the characters. When they have a hard time being together as a couple, you will feel the pain too. The sex part is juicy enough without it being too much. Giving you with enough info to imagine yourself and not be disgusted by it.

Overall it's a really good book. Good story, bittersweet ending, realistic characters. Really awesome!
