Title: Extremely Unrealistic! Not like her other books at all!
Review: I found this story line to be interesting - a woman starting over after the death of her beloved husband. While there are some great analogies in the book, overall it is a huge disappointment! It is hard to believe that relationships from college are just picked up where they left off while all her friends admit that she just exited their lives years ago! It would have been more realistic if time was taken to renew the relationships. Plus, the other characters in the book seemed a bit unreal as well. If only life was that sugary...I am an optimistic person, but this story just seemed to good to be true. It is a shame because I usually love this author's work. It does not portray the real feelings felt by a widow. I have a friend who felt very alone after her husband died. This book makes the relationships and reconnections seem all to easy thereby losing the meaning of a "pleasurable" life rebuilt after a strong love.
