Different from my usual reading selections but I loved it. The author invites us into a realistic world of a woman who had no idea that her marriage was terrible until her husband, Brian showed how much he wasn't really apart of it. I love her snippets of romance scenes that tied to Mona and how she writes her novels as well as how she fantasies about Ben. It was a captivating read from the very first chapter for me. I think this book was quite entertaining and easy to read. I picked up this read when it was being offered as a deal of the day, or something like that, but I just got around to reading it. I knew that it was a lighthearted funny read, which was exactly what I was in the mood for. It is also my first read by this author, and I now know that it won't be my last. I wasn't so sure as I was reading the first couple of pages, it peaked my interest and it picked up right away, completely holding me attention with humor, engaging characters, and witty banter between these characters. I enjoyed Mona's journey through her divorce, the realization of the events of her marriage, her ex-husband and her career. It was refreshing how the author chose to handle the intimacy in the story, leaving much if not all to the imagination of the reader. I loved who Mona ends up with, even though I kind of figured it out earlier on, and wished that we would have had more time with them together, but for the most part it was a fun, fun ride.
