Thursdays in the Park by Hilary Boyd
5.0
Downloaded this on a whim after seeing it on the top of the Kindle chart. Wasn't expecting much since it was only 20p I thought it would be some quick trashy read to fill up time. It was nice to be proven wrong.
A sweet love story between a woman trapped in a loving loveless marriage & a man who she encountered by chance & swept her off her feet.
I will admit there were times where I got a little bit annoyed with the main character because I felt she was being a bit selfish & to put it as her husband so eloquently did, a 'bitch' but redeemed herself in the end. The husband, although I desperately tried to feel some sympathy for him, was so frustrating with his inability to let go & comprehend their situation & the fact he was living in denial of the reality of the marriage around him.
Ultimately, it was a sweet read & I'd definitely recommend.
And for what it's worth, I really hope I'm as full of life when I hit 60.
