Based on the decisions they made, no one could possibly come out a winner in this story. Wanting that is not realistic, I know, cause things in life don't work that way, especially when three people are dealing with matters of the heart. I was mostly just left with a sense of finality and a profound feeling of sadness and loss that three people so connected would never be all together and happy again. I did feel that the relationship between these three, while unconventional, was soul deep. Things never turn out to be as simple as you hope they will. Life is certainly about choices.but don't think for a minute that there will not be consequences after those choices are made. **Just a note to say that I actually re-read this book to see if I picked up any little nuances that would help me to reconcile in my mind why this story played out the way it did. Can't stop thinking about that!! I think this is a book I will ponder on for days to come. Not really happy about the way things ended. Enter the sexy "best friend" into the mix and things just spiral out of control. This is a woman with a lot of dynamics outside her marriage which are pretty easy to identify with.like the interfering overbearing mother-in-law, alcoholic father, sister's with issues of their own,and other people's expectations. Reading things from Anne's perspective was interesting although I would have loved to have been privy to the inner thoughts of Alex and James. It was very compelling with real life emotions and feelings. I found this book really hard to put down.
