short and sweet , more things stick in my head that i didnt like than anything i did.First let me say the best ive read is A widows Story by Joyce Carol Oates. two things i remember the author saying in this book is, the day your husband died your marriage ended. that didnt sit well with me, true or not. and take off your wedding ring so people know your available. nice. and i read later she has met a knew man. nice....again... for her. whenever i unfortunately think of this book i shake my head , im glad i skimmed and didnt fully read.
