Hello all you lovelies!
I'm sorry that I have neglected you.
But don't think that I have not thought of you this week.
A quick thank you everyone that participated in Fresh-Cut Friday!
We had some amazing participants.
If you want to see, all the links are below.
You won't be sorry!
I also wanted to do a quick book review.
If you are looking for a good read... this might be a place to start....
I'm just saying.
From the back of the book:
An unvarnished portrait
of a marriage that is both ordinary and extraordinary, Dancing on
Broken Glass takes readers on an unforgettable journey of the heart.
Lucy
Houston and Mickey Chandler probably shouldn’t have fallen in love, let
alone gotten married. They’re both plagued with faulty genes—he has
bipolar disorder; she, a ravaging family history of breast cancer. But
when their paths cross on the night of Lucy’s twenty-first birthday,
sparks fly, and there’s no denying their chemistry.
Cautious
every step of the way, they are determined to make their relationship
work—and they put their commitment in writing. Mickey will take his
medication. Lucy won’t blame him for what is beyond his control. He
promises honesty. She promises patience. Like any marriage, there are
good days and bad days—and some very bad days. In dealing with their
unique challenges, they make the heartbreaking decision not to have
children. But when Lucy shows up for a routine physical just shy of
their eleventh anniversary, she gets an impossible surprise that changes
everything. Everything. Suddenly, all their rules are thrown out the
window, and the two of them must redefine what love really is.
My Take: I loved the the book. I loved Lucy. I was totally in, until the end of the story.
The last chapters actually made me SOB! I was so emotional drained by the time I
reached the last 2 chapters that I think I just felt like I was done. The closing chapters
are all about Micky, and honestly I just felt that it was to far fetched and not really believable.
That aside, some of the writing is absolutly beautiful. The author also takes on some
very heady real life issues in meaningful ways. It was food for some amazing conversation
for book club.
And that, my friends, is a good thing!
I'm off to have a great weekend.
I hope you are too!
