 I'm a big fan of L.A. Witt/Lauren Gallagher so I was super stoked to read this book. Now here's the thing. I did like the book but it was one of those books that was okay but not great. The writing was fine. The story was different but still fine. The characters were fine. But it still felt like it was missing some oomph. I liked the idea of the book, which was a different twist on a romance books instead of the same repetitive formula over and over again that we see constantly in this genre. 
 Joanna McQuaid comes across as a heartless bitch to the outside eye, but she's anything but. David Lamont is the best friend to Joanna's husband Chris. David is forced to bring Joanna home while Chris is dying. At first David is appalled for the lack of sympathy and care from Joanna but for the first time in years, he starts to open up his eyes and realize that all is not as it seems. 
 Tsk tsk David. You should never judge a book by its cover. Joanna and Chris have a marriage that should have been over long ago, but never did and now Joanna's stuck. She's stuck because how do you leave a dying man without looking like a heartless bitch. 
 Before Chris was diagnosed people saw him for who he was, which was a control freak and an asshole. Then all of a sudden he gets cancer and he turns into a saint in the eyes of everyone causing Joanna to be stuck in a place she doesn't want to be at anymore. 
 As Joanna is forced to deal with her husband, her and David start up a friendship. Within this friendship secrets are let out and shoulders are used to lean on for one another. The more they realize that they were wrong about one another the more they realize that they need each other. But Chris lives a life full of double standards and feels betrayed with this new relationship. Now what does one do with all that guilt, shame, need and want? 
 Like I said earlier it was decent but I wanted more from the story I just can't put my finger on what it is that I needed from it.
