This is a tough review for me to write. I try to find something positive to highlight about every book that I read but I’m really struggling to identify anything I really liked in this one. I felt like the characters were impossible to empathize with and a lot of the dialogue was stilted or felt forced. I am not religious but I don’t mind reading about religious characters, but the constant flat way Julie prayed or commented on her blessings got really old really fast for me. I think I could have gotten past all of that if the story was good, but I didn’t really like the arc this story took. Julie suspects her husband of cheating and instead of addressing it with him she drives herself crazy trying to figure out why. Finally she decides she’s had enough and leaves him in order to set him free because she clearly wasn’t enough for him. The idea that it is a person’s fault if their partner cheats on them offends me. And that’s basically the idea she accepts. And I’m sorry but the ending did not work for me at all. I believe if someone truly loves you they won’t cheat on you for about three decades.
