Dear Emily

By: Fern Michaels

Narrated by: Jeanine Bartel

Chin up, Emily Thorn faces the pain and heartache of love lost and years wasted. At 40, all she has to show for 20 years of marriage is a Federal Express letter from her husband that begins "Dear Emily" - and ends their life together. She had put her own life on hold to pay Ian's way through medical school. She believed him when he told her that one day she'd have everything she ever wanted - children, an education, a career of her own. What she got was overweight, out of shape - and dumped.

Emily needs to reclaim her life. Slimming down and starting up a chain of fitness centers, she is soon skyrocketing toward entrepreneurial success...and into relationships with two exciting new men. One is kind and compassionate, the other unpredictable and alarmingly sensual. Now, to keep her hard-won independence and balance it with a truly fulfilling love, all she has to do is choose the right one.

Slow and Long

A long slow book. Story was good, but too long. Fast forward speed helped a bit.

Her perseverance

She was strong and she didn’t know it but she kept going until she figured it out

Mediocre

I think the story dragged. I had to force myself to continue and finish it. The characters voices were irritating the story was weak I wouldn’t recommend it

the love of cigarettes.

Emily, use that money to fund research into lung cancer. the cigarette smoking was even so great for the njns.

Too involved.

Could have been two stories. Too much sex. I found it long and boring after her husband died.
