I absolutely love Jane Green's writing; the wit, humor, and lovable/love-to-hate characters. Unfortunately, towards the end of the book, I tend to roll my eyes at the predictability. I just haven't been pleased with the conclusions.
This book, however, surpassed my expectations, and I had a tear (of joy) in my eye at the end. I LOVED IT!
Poor Alice. She hasn't yet found herself when she discovers her unrequited teenage love back in her life. Joe. He decides that although Alice isn't good enough for him, she could be. So he marries her under the guise of being able to change her.
Like his father before him, however, Joe has a wandering eye. And he acts on it. Again and again and again. Does Alice know? Maybe. Does she put up with it? For an infuriatingly long time.
Joe has an indiscretion at work with a colleague and is caught, and Joe and Alice must move from London to New York. It is in the suburbs, in a country home in Connecticut, where Alice finds herself. And quite possibly, true love...

Any woman who has been blinded by a man can relate to this story. Jane Green is a wonderful storyteller. I loved Alice and Jane wrote her realistically and any woman can relate to her. I found myself rooting for Alice throughout this book. Great story!
