I happened across this book in the library. Interestingly, it caught my eye though it was much shorter and smaller than the books around it. It was literally wedged between two huge books with large obnoxious titles. I quickly read the back and a snippet about the author and I knew it'd be a good choice. If you've never heard of the author or the book, take my advice and just read it. I'm not going to dive too much into the end of the book so that I don't ruin why this book is so incredibly intriguing. It's a page-turner folks and at only 100 pages, you'll be done with it in one sitting! Let me hook you in.
Mattie Cominsky is a married career woman and mother of a 2-year old girl. The book opens with a frustrated Mattie. She's irritated with her marriage. She's irritated that her marriage isn't where she thought it would be. She's irritated that her husband is a workaholic. She's irritated that her husband doesn't make time for her or pay attention to her when he is home. And the latest frustration is that he came home recently acting completely odd: offering to cook dinner, spending less time at work, and going on and on about how he had dinner with Jesus. Mattie is convinced her husband is going crazy. Not only is he loosing his mind, but he's spending more time in this crazed state at home and around their family. Mattie needs to get away from her husband and all his Jesus talk so she took a work-related trip to Tuscon, Arizon for the weekend. She was relieved to get away!
The book details Mattie's plane trip. She meets and observes some interesting characters on her plane ride. She's certain at the start of her trip, that perhaps a divorce makes the most sense. Right?! She gets into an odd argument with a "loud mouth" in the window seat next to her. Luckily the man sitting on the other side of her is seemingly normal and he's a counselor. Mattie dives into a dialogue with this counselor about the relationships in her life.
This is a must read!
