Helen has been married for almost 20 years and feels her life is dull and uninteresting. She’s invited to a wedding in Rome where she is reunited with an old friend and also her ex-boyfriend, who she feels is “the one who got away.” Seeing him brings up all the old feelings and she wonders “what if.” I think most women, especially 40 something women, can relate to this story. We all have moments where we question our lives and the decisions we’ve made. This was my first book by Charlotte Roth, it was well written with relatable characters.
Brenda Scott Wlazlo did a good job with the narration, giving each character their own voice.
