Review

Getting Rid of Matthew, by Jane Fallon.

While I was not profoundly intrigued, I spent several enjoyable evenings curled up with this story. The book focuses on one woman who has an affair with a married man, who decides to leave his wife and move in with his lover. Epitomizing the saying the grass is always greener, each lover realizes that the fantasy is always better than reality. And as us feminists who enjoy a modern day fairy tail, depicting woman who take their lives into their own hands as they hypocritically allow men to lead them astray, love the romance and the drama as the novel unfolds. It was a quick read, great for nights when thinking hurts and an escape is needed.
