Still, the story of a woman getting back on her emotional feet - re-discovering herself after a major battle with depression - that was a story that really resonated with me. But as the author said herself, she wanted to "write something uplifting about a topic that's not covered very much". I found myself weeping during some scenes just because I had been there. And I was happy that in the end Lizzie gets what she really wants. Your Roots Are Showing is a story about a woman trying to survive post-pregnancy life. It is about the importance of communication & compromise in a marriage. It may be hard to read, because Lizzie is such an identifiable character, but it is not pretty. But then again, neither is Motherhood. http://charlotteswebofbooks.blogspot.com/ sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Lizzie Buckley has a life many women dream of - a gorgeous husband, wonderful home and beautiful (when they're not fighting) three year old twins. But there's a snag. It's not that Lizzie has gone off marriage, as such. Well, not exactly. She's just gone off the skin-to-skin, body-fluid-exchange aspects of marriage. Ever since the birth of the twins, she's had a fantasy about locking herself in her bedroom for 24 hours alone with a good book and a box of chocolates. Unfortunately, her husband James doesn't understand her feelings. And when Lizzie hits 'send' on the wrong email, suddenly everything starts to unravel. With the word 'divorce' ringing in her ears, Lizzie finds herself moving out and embarking on a totally different life - new house; new neighbours; no husband. But despite transforming her body, her neglected career and her libido (courtesy of the local landscape gardener), Lizzie can't get over her soon-to-be ex. Still mulling over her failed marriage, Lizzie can't help wondeing whether she was ever good enough for gorgeous James. Or, as her mother-in-law suggests, was she just the wrong sort of wife? The other side of much misunderstanding, mayhem and more than a little merlot, Lizzie will find out if she wanted the fairy tale ending after all¿ No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

The reason I'm giving this four stars instead of five was solely for the last few pages. The way the author finished this book seemed to me like she decided she was done writing and wanted to give a quick wrap up. After 360 pages of build up, it felt like she didn't know how else to end it, so she did so extremely abruptly. It left me feeling like the ending was lacking. Still a pretty good book though. ( )
