This one is weird one for me. There was 50% I enjoyed: the gift buying, the real estate shopping, and the personal growth. I also liked Marnie's friends but they weren't fully on the page enough for me to get properly attached. I even enjoyed the affair partner getting to be the POV. Also the secret daughter. I think she was handled rather well.
And then there was the romance element, which is obviously very important because it's a romance novel. And I think this book suffered from splitting itself between two romances that were occurring in 2 different generations. The younger set felt slightly rushed and I was ever able to get fully yay invested. The older set felt smoother but I have really hard time cheering for taking a cheater back. The explanation and build up were done rather well, I just didn't have it in me to cheer them on.
