"Two women running away from their marriages collide on a foggy highway, killing one of them. The survivor, Isabelle, is left to pick up the pieces, not only of her own life, but of the lives of the devastated husband and fragile son that the other woman, April, has left behind. Together, they try to solve the mystery of where April was running to, and why. As these three lives intersect, the book asks, How well do we really know those we love—and how do we forgive the unforgivable?"

Received through Early Reviewers, via LibraryThing. (Unabridged on 10 CD's; read by Robin Miles)

8 out of 10

I liked this book primarily because it dealt with some atypical subject matter. Two women collide in the fog while seemingly trying to "escape" a relationship with their significant other. One woman is killed, the other must live with the aftermath of knowing she killed, albeit accidentally, another man's wife. Woman then forms a relationship with dead woman's husband. It sounds rather simple & almost cheesy, but it's not. There are a lot of complicated emotions thrown in here; people's lives affected.

Did I like this book? Yes, I did. It was refreshingly different and what I would consider an honest interpretation of a difficult situation. I liked the ending in that it was not what I had expected, although I'm not sure it brought about the closure I was wanting. And I think I may have titled this book differently (although what, I don't know right off hand...), but it does make me curious about earlier works from an author I previously was not familiar with.

I received this book from a PBS swapper, and just didn't care for it. Didn't even finish it. Didn't like the characters or care much for the reader. I am sending it off today to a Georgia Peach, through the audio swap game on paperbackswap.
(While it really might be a good book, if the reader rubs me wrong, I just can't go on...)
