Review
Julie has been married for 15 years, but recently the 40 year old, is feeling lost, distant and lonely when it comes to her marriage but talking to her husband Justin about it gets her no where. So Julie takes a break, a chance to be away from her husband and think…in Las Vegas.
This trip leads Julie to more than just thinking and she ends up spending time with others that she hasn’t planned to spend time with.
Will she end up resolving her issues with her husband? Will she follow through on plans that will lead her to feeling no more than guilt and upset? Or will she discover that maybe it isn’t too late to change who you are or what you want?
I did thoroughly enjoy this read and was impressed with it considering this was the authors debut. It was a storyline unlike anything I had read before, which kept me captivated and interested with the plot and the characters.
The plot was different to what I have read before and I truly felt I was reading something original which is sometimes hard to come by nowadays. There was plenty of dynamics within the story including romance, passion, twists, laughter, love and pain. It explored a deeper issue of guilt and loss of identity and passion within a marriage which was a nice and deeper issue that added another layer to the story.
I truly felt for Julie. In such a difficult situation, feeling stuck in her marriage and wanting something else but dealing with the consequences and fully that accompanied that.
There are some BIG twists within the story and characters you may not like to start aren’t at all as they seem. I sometimes thing twists are a bit too obvious but with this story I was definitely shocked when they were revealed.
Overall an original story which is fast moving, interesting, shocking with the twists and a story that has made me eager to read more from this author.
