I loved this story! I loved the struggle and the monologue. A lot emotion and watching Grace find herself was captivating. She lived with Jon and they had such happy memories and loved each other but life happens And sometimes when things change it changes you. Grace and Jon both changed and when Jon couldn't handle how life had handed him a crappy hand he took it out on Grace. Whether he meant to or not and you could see the hurt and indecision in Grace while coming to terms with the fact that the old Jon no longer existed. After finding her grandmother who is awesome btw and meeting her amazingly hot neighbor Ryan, Grace moves to Florida and starts over and finds exactly what she needed. Carey Heywood did an amazing job! I will admit the first chapter was really hard for me to get through and I put it down a few times because I kept getting frustrated with Grace (the main character) because she was letting her boyfriend (Jon) walk all over her and treat her horribly. And I don’t like DoorMats.. I like my women to have a backbone. But then we got to the next chapter, I couldn’t put it down. Grace started standing up for herself and putting Jon in his place for being so rude to her.Watching their relationship change and develop was really heart tugging for me. I’ve been in a relationship that became loveless like that so I just had to read where it was going. Were Jon & Grace going to be able to find what they’d lost? (I’m not telling you, you’ll have to read to find out)Grace gets a letter from an unexpected person and this brings on HUGE Changes in her life..Parts made me laugh, parts made my tear up, parts made me want to scream, but all in all.. Loved it.
What do You think about Stages Of Grace (2000)?
It was a good read , easy read but I found it lacking at the end, wanted so much more
