Jake and Claire have been more like business associates than a married couple for the last two years and it has been exactly as their agreement stipulated. Claire is now in love with Jake and once her compelling reason for staying in her now painful marriage are removed, she knows she must end things. She loves him too much to be near him and not have her love returned. Jake, however, foils her plans at every turn.This was an interesting book in that it was a little out of the ordinary. It was told from Claire's point of view. This was both a strength and a weakness. Not knowing how Jake felt furthered the uncertainty but it dragged on a bit in places with too much thinking on Claire's part.It was well written and emotional. I teared up a couple of times, which is a good indication of quality. The only reason I did not give it five stars was the fact that there was just a little too much thinking.
