March 25, 2019
Bestseller Carr (The Wanderer) falls short with this novel of a woman who pivots from a mid-40s divorce to a surprising new romance. Lauren Delaney is extricating herself from marriage to a surgeon who has spent 24 years inflicting emotional, verbal, and physical abuse on her. She can afford the services of a good lawyer and a lease on a house of her own in the Bay Area enclave of Alameda Island. She also has the support of her sister and close friends. But, straining credulity, she jumps right into a new relationship with Beau Magellan, an affluent landscape designer she meets at random in a church garden. He too is in his mid-40s and mid-divorce. Their coming together and struggles through entirely predictable obstacles thrown down by their irredeemable exes are written like a case study: heavy on omnisciently narrated backstory, and simplified to the broadest brushstrokes of character and motivation. Lacking any real examination of how a middle-aged woman leaving a miserable marriage might think or feel about singlehood, this story neither engages nor enlightens. Agent: Liza Dawson, Liza Dawson Associates.

Starred review from April 1, 2019
In this latest from Carr, who's hit the top spot on the New York Times best sellers list 11 times, two unhappily married people meet, become friends, and support each other through marital breakup. Then they fall in love. Maybe their family and friends disapprove, but having spent too many years living for others, they are eager to live for themselves. With a 350,000-copy trade paperback and 10,000-copy hardcover first printing.
