Publisher's summary

Chin up, Emily Thorn faces the pain and heartache of love lost and years wasted. At 40, all she has to show for 20 years of marriage is a Federal Express letter from her husband that begins "Dear Emily" - and ends their life together. She had put her own life on hold to pay Ian's way through medical school. She believed him when he told her that one day she'd have everything she ever wanted - children, an education, a career of her own. What she got was overweight, out of shape - and dumped.

Emily needs to reclaim her life. Slimming down and starting up a chain of fitness centers, she is soon skyrocketing toward entrepreneurial success...and into relationships with two exciting new men. One is kind and compassionate, the other unpredictable and alarmingly sensual. Now, to keep her hard-won independence and balance it with a truly fulfilling love, all she has to do is choose the right one.

Talk about nothing

This book should have ended after chapter 15. The balance was a empty. It was a real struggle to finish.

Weird

This has to have been the strangest book I’ve listened to!
I was incensed with the make character from the beginning. Such verbal/emotional abuse.
Then as the story progressed, it got worse.

I was enjoying all the authors other books ...this one had me confused and in left field ...I kept wondering "am I missing something" It was hard to keep track and follow along...however, I did finish it.

Overcoming fear and trials

While the book may be a little long, it’s detail over obstacles that you can overcome no matter what and that life is never over unless you give up. I really did enjoy this book it makes you think.

It was hard to finish.

I have enjoyed books by this author, but this one kept me thinking the main character, “dear Emily,” was very self-centered. Abuse of any kind leaves scars….. it was just a very unsettling story line I guess. I skipped several chapters just so I could finish the book.

First Fern Michaels story I didn’t care for

The storyline was all over the place. The ending fell flat. Sorry for me this was a swing and a miss.

How long this awful book was...

This book was all over the place. It is the worst I've listened to!! Don't waste your time. I imagine it's why it's free.
