A compelling story of love and careers and friendship and marriage and how messy and complicated humans can be. Excellent.

I will never be a fan of the cheating trope, but I thought McBrayer did about as well as someone could writing it without demonizing everyone involved. Her writing was very good, but I wish there was more character growth for the main character and a better ending that detailed how it came about. Still, overall an enjoyable read.
