This book is sort of a case study of what happens when we don't talk to our loved ones. Jason and Pace are sort of happily married but they have a little bit to work on, including talking to each other to make sure their relationship doesn't go astray. While I reading this book, I happened to also be taking a communication training class. I felt that Jason and Pace would have done well to take a class like that. They definitely would avoid some of the issues they faced in the book. Mis-communications can happen though, especially in relationships even those that we've been in for a long time. We don't say what we need to say or we're afraid to ask the tough questions. In that way, I thought the book was really realistic.
Pace's dad is a U.S. Senator and while the book takes place in Atlanta, you can get a little taste of that DC flavor, which I really liked.
This book is well written and really pulls you in. I found myself rooting for the characters and hoping that everything turns out okay. It's not a high brow book but the characters are really realistic and relatable.
Bottom line: This is a good quick read.

This is story about trust and the facades we create in our lives. This books shows how the characters deal with those issues. Pace Kelly goes to the doctor because she is not feeling well. The doctor tells her that she is pregnant. Her husband, however, has had a vasectomy. This relationship crisis spreads to their family members, Pace's parents, a senator running for re-election & his political wife. Jason & his brother also offer another view point.
This novel is well-written. I never knew what was going to happen next. I was surprised how it ended in the epilogue. This book will make you think twice before you assume anything about someone that you trust.

Great easy read that hooked me in from page one until the end. This was a book that had you always wondering what was going to happen next. I would recommend this book to others and I look forward to reading more of her books.
