About this listen

When your dreams come crashing down, what's next? In Essence bestselling author Grace Octavia's moving new novel, one woman must begin again when betrayal shatters the life she knew…Dawn Jones's sorority sisters thought she made a big mistake marrying blue-collar Reginald. But thanks to hard work and belief in each other, Dawn and Reginald left the big city and made their own happiness, complete with a comfortable home and two lively children. Dawn can't wait to show everyone just how perfect her choices were - especially when her mega-successful best friend, Sasha, shows up to visit. But she never expected Sasha would like Reginald so much she'd steal him for herself…or that Reginald would see Sasha as a second chance to pursue hopes he never fulfilled. With her perfect life now in shambles, Dawn will do whatever it takes to regain what she's lost. But the road back will mean facing the hardest of truths, even tougher choices - and risking more than she ever imagined to discover what her life could really be.

When I started this book, I was so upset the main character was not standing up for herself! I was that lady in the back of the theater yelling at the screen, "Don't you let her do that!" I was so frustrated, I put it down. I got to thinking, if I'm this emotional about this book, it must be good, lol. So I started back and could put it down! I went through a whole bunch of emotions before I finished (and yes I had a few more yelling at the characters episodes, lol) In all, great book and must read!

So good I was mad!

I enjoyed this book. The story was predictable and you could see the plot twists a mile away, but overall it was a satisfying, easy read.

Entertaining Read

This was my first book that I have listened to by this particular Author. At first I could not really get into the story ... But stuck with it as the reviews were all pretty good. So glad I did!!! Would enjoy a Part 2 as I could see more that could be written with these characters. ;)
