Nice, quiet read. Nothing too complex, the characters were people I could relate to and the plot was simple. Who, if they really had the chance, has not wished they could not quit everything they were doing and run away for a few days and just "find themselves"? The main character in the book did just that and she ends up running back to the place where she found her first love (not her current husband) and where her closest girlfriend lives. But wait, before she leaves "her current life" she gets another letter from her first love telling her that he is going back home- just an FYI to her. Yes, she thought she pefectly happy with her husband but why not tempt herself and make sure that she really is happy and although she says throughout the book that she is not going back to that town because of him, come on folks..lets be real. What I liked about the book was that it made me escape my own daily life and that is what books are supposed to do I liked that the Emily realized what was important to her before it was too late in life. Perhaps if other people can take a bit of Emily's enlightenment and apply that it their lives, they could be more compassionate, less materialistic, more real, less busy, more friendly, etc.
