Title: I thought this was going to be a darkly funny novel.
Review: The beginning is witty and I thought it was so good. However, the author wasn't able to maintain the humor and by page 200, the book becomes an overblown category romance. Even has the Harlequin Romance Hero clone, C J. The bad boy turned into Mr. Wonderful Husband Material, great in bed, great with the kid, etc. By the time, the cheating husband is finally killed, it comes as no surprise because that paves the way for the standard happily-ever after romance ending. The focus of the book is uneven. It starts out like a novel, then develops into a romance, with a little mystery thrown in the last third of the book. And, all the characters who've been out of school for at least 20 years, are still re-living their high school days/memories. I wanted to say to them Grow Up!
