I have enjoyed this genre tremendously, before this book. I struggled, trudged, slogged through the mindlessness of what? Junk. I do not understand some of the reviews. There has been no character development, except perhaps Miriam makes Eyore the donkey, look like Pollyanna. There are sections that make no sense; you don't even get to know Miriam before you find out what type of sex and preference her Ex enjoys (how does that even fit!??). I am a voracious reader and couldn't make it past page 71. I even gave the book to a friend because I couldn't return it and she didn't make it past page 60 and asked me to take it back. I have read some truly good and extremely engaging authors in this genre, Darynda Jones, and Robyn Peterman to name two. Those authors drew you in immediately, allowed you to truly engage with the characters and created wonderful stories and worlds to become a part of for a brief time. I feel terribly cheated by Deborah Wilde and do not understand who would even publish this book. I cannot in any way recommend wasting your time on this book. I am sorry because I have never felt the need to warn people not to waste their money. If you feel you must read this, perhaps your local library might have a copy or you might have a friend, like me, who was taken in and purchased it and will happily give it to you to read.
Such a disappointment. I have more life, hope and dreams left in me at 74 than Miriam does at 41, poor Miriam, the Librarian...so sad.
