Straight Talk About Marriage: Love, marriage, divorce. For those of us who have loved or are still loving, have been married or still married, been divorced or are going through a divorce, we have our own love, marriage, and divorce stories to tell. However, In The Honeymoon's Over, Chapman and Wofford-Grand have carefully edited and compiled some of the best stories on these three issues. Reading each of these stories is like listening to your sisterfriend while sipping coffee or tea. The authors are storytellers, telling their stories in a very fluid and conversational style. Easy to read and understand, these stories are well-written, emotional and very revealing. You can almost feel their pain, cry their tears, and rejoice in their decisions. After you have read these stories, you can think about each author's perspective of love, herself, relationships and her future. You may even think about which story applies to you. Although each story is distinctive in terms of the author, her story and her writing style, the themes and the storytelling style unite these stories into this unique book. At least one story will appeal to every reader. The reader may be able to even identify with an author or two. These women are sharing their stories, and telling ours, too. I recommend reading this book. Karen Lemmons APOOO Bookclub
The Honeymoon's Over: This was not what I thought it would be. Although, there were some interesting stories, I was somewhat dissapointed.
Great Book: This book is very well written. Definitely speaks volumes about relationships. But be ready to have the tissues on hand. :)
You will probably see yourself in at least one of these stories: I really enjoyed this book. I am at the mid life point and found myself relating to many of the stories. The happy ending ones, as well as the ones that ended in divorce.
Good to know we all have the same issues: Short stories that are well presented and represent a host of situations - so one (or more) of them should apply to everyone who's been married. Nice to help you keep perspective, lots of different writing styles. Good to read 1-2 stories at a time and process what they have to offer.
