She could not let him get married again. She was determined to not let this happen. It became her obsession; her ex-husband Richard, consumed her and she couldn’t let him go. Then, suddenly the string broke, her fervor switched and now she is focused on Nellie, the woman that Richard is planning on marrying. I didn’t know what to think of this divorcee as her passion and her feelings ate up the hours of her day. It wasn’t until she started to talk about her past that I finally began to understand where the trouble existed. She’s trying to warn Nellie about Richard, she is doing everything she possibly can, her determination is relentless. Their reactions typical but troubling to her. The more she reveals about her past, the more I am wondering where this is all headed and why she cares so much. If she scares off Nellie, where will that leave her? Is there something about Richard that neither of the woman know?
I got so tired of Richard’s psycho talk. He used it to belittle the individual he was aiming his remark at and it was just one of his ways that he used to take control of the situation. Richard was an individual who always had to be in control. They say that love is blind and Richard had their eyes covered and they loved it. I loved how this novel kept building and building until the end when the author just lets go with the unexpected. It’s one of those endings where I want to go back and reread the novel, Richard didn’t have my eyes covered, the author did. Just like the book jacket states, “You will assume………You will assume…….…You will assume……..Assume nothing. Read between the lines.” I made assumptions. I highly recommend this novel.
I received a copy of this novel from St. Martin’s Press in exchange for an honest review.
