It appears to be a story we've seen before. The young, new woman who is too perfect to be true. The wife that has been discarded and is apparently jealous of the new woman.

I don't want to like Nellie. She's a homewrecker who knowingly had an affair with a married man. That makes me instantly hate people. However she's just too nice. She seems like the person I'd be friends with.

You feel sorry for Vanessa. How can you not? Who wants to be traded in for someone younger. You feel sorry for her but at the same time you're yelling at her to pull herself together. No need to wallow in self pity.

That's all pretty typical for book but there's still something lingering under the surface. I can feel I'm not being told everything and I want to know more!
