Jamie
had it all, a stunning wife, a lucrative job and a luxurious mansion - only to
lose it all after an affair with a younger woman. Thrown out of her home
and abandoned by her friends, she packed up everything she owned and moved back
to the small country town where she grew up. Once there she has her best
friend Beth for support, as well as reconnecting with her first ever crush from
her youth, a woman she hasn’t seen for 25 years.
Sandy was twenty years old and married with a small child when
she met sixteen year old Jamie. Now twenty five years later Jamie is back
and this time Sandy can admit to herself that she wants more than
friendship. Unfortunately Sandy still has a husband, Jamie is still in
love with her ex-wife and Beth is getting suspicious.
This is an interesting book of love between women at the prime
of their lives. At seventeen and twenty one, their lives were too far
apart to ever contemplate a relationship. Now at forty two and forty six
the differences don’t seem as insurmountable. Before that can happen
however, Sandy has to sort through her feelings about her marriage and Jamie
has to recognise the issues in her past relationship which drove her to the
affair. Of course, being a book about the rocky road to love there has to
be a lot of drama along the way, yet the characters remain realistic
throughout. This book can be long-winded at times but otherwise it’s a
good read.
