Hannah always felt that her marriage to Joel was pretty good. They had two children, a lovely home. Until the day that Hannah finds out that he had cheated on her. Joel claims it meant nothing, and only happened one time.

Now Hannah must make a huge decision. Joel is begging forgiveness; he says he will do anything to save their marriage even go see a counselor. Hannah has come up with a better idea, she is going to have an affair. Now she has to find someone. Hannah goes on several dating apps. But nothing jumps out at her. Joel, on the other hand, agrees to this, but he is not happy about it.

While all this is going on in their lives, they also have the responsibility of taking care of Joel’s father who is in a nursing home. While Hannah sees him often, Joel not so much. They are having problems with him as he seems to be really depressed. Hannah speaks a lot to Rueben who takes care of him. Hannah has made the decision to have her affair with Rueben. Now the question is will she and can her marriage be saved?

This is the first book I have read by Elizabeth Laban. I really enjoyed it. Laban seems to get right into the problems that Hannah and Joel are facing. Laban made me feel sorry for both of them. Who really is wrong in this whole mess? Of course, it seems like Joel, but would Hannah having an affair really help?

Laban does add some humor to this story. From the beginning, I was hooked on this but once again I read it too fast and was disappointed it was over. This book is a great book to get and relax and enjoy as it gets colder and snow is here.
