After my last post, Order of Swans by Jude Deveraux, I tried and failed to read three other books because Order of Swans was so good that it spoiled me for the ones I tried to read afterward.
My only recourse was to pick up another Jude Deveraux book and see if I could immerse myself in it.
As You Wish is completely different from Order of Swans, but just as interesting in its own way. The story is about two women and a man sent to a "retreat house" by a therapist. You learn the life stories of all three and how their lives went wrong due to unhappy marriages. Each of the men talked about were having affairs on the side with women much more suited to them than their wives.
Ray, the one man in the house, is called away on a business trip and is replaced in the house by his wife. We know his side of the story, but now we get her side - a completely different viewpoint.
Now we know everything about the women, but we're only halfway through the book!
The therapist - who never actually appears in the story - sends them business cards telling them to visit a house on the edge of town to meet with someone who can help them fix their life story. Really!? How do you change the past?
Well, if I tell you, you won't enjoy the book so much. Please read it, it's a treat.
