Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This book was awful. I'm sad that I read it and finished it. Its one redeeming quality was there was a storyline. BUT it ends there. The story line is not quality. It makes little to no sense to this day and age, unless the author is trying to bring us back to a time when a man would "make it work" for the family. It starts off where the newlywed hubby leaves his wife in the middle of the night on their honeymoon. If that's not bad enough, he won't text her or call her or tell her remotely what's going on. Until she threatens to get rid of his things. Then. *spoiler alert* he finally fesses up to the fact that he's left her bc his ex had his baby and the baby has a heart defect. He feels his best life would be with the baby and his ex for the baby's sake. Buh-bye good sir. Yet, the author wants you to believe there's hope. True love will prevail. *spoiler alert* It doesn't. This isn't even the worst of it. There's this random woman in the art gallery where the main character works. They start discussing a painting (Christina) and they bond. Come to find out this woman had had an affair, almost left her husband for the side guy, then didn't, but the side guy had already left his wife before she could tell him she got cold feet. Well the side guy goes a little dark and gets in a bar fight, suffers brain damage, and ends up with dementia later in life. Now the random woman is a volunteer and visitor at the dementia center where the side guy is housed. They bring some of the guys from there on a field trip to the main character's art gallery weekly, while the main character learns about this affair story. This pans out FOREVER. The timeline is also hard to follow. It skips from the 60s to the 80s to the present. Finally we find out *spoiler alert* that the side guy with dementia is the main character's long lost father. Everyone is now a very happy family. It is ridiculous. Do NOT waste your time on this book.
