Robert Steven Williams

Chuck finds himself hit with the fact his wife has found someone else and is leaving him. After twenty years of marriage, Chuck is left confused and stumbling about to get his life in order. The reader follows Chuck through a year of recovery and getting back on his feet.

This was a unique book that was an interesting read. I have to admit that. Not many emotional books come from the man's point of view. What I mean by emotional is not that he is crying on every page but that he is exploring himself and his marriage. He has to face not only what his wife did but aspects of the problems he helped to create. On top of all that, I feel for the guy because of family and friends. Yes, they have good intentions, but stop trying to get him involved with someone when he just got uninvolved! That drove me nuts, but it happens in real life. If the author hadn't put those scenes in there, it would be too unreal even for fiction.

This is not a read that you will pick up and not be able to put down, yet it will keep you wondering what he will do next. Will he call his gym buddy's friend for a date? Will he have a second date? Will he finally get the divorce finalized?

I did like this book. I couldn't relate to most of it, but it had me wanting to continue and had me thinking deeply about many of the things that happened to him. This is one book I think most will either recommend to others or not like at all. If you like chick-lit kind of books, this is one you might enjoy. The fact that is from the man's point of view makes it a possibility for men and women to read and enjoy. I do suggest you checking out this.

Note: This book was part of a virtual book tour with no expectation of a positive review.… (altro)
