“Pieces of Happily Ever After” is addictive. I literally “sneak read” this novel. I say “sneak read” because I was in the middle of a couple other books, but kept dipping into this one when the other books weren’t looking. Ince I finished the others, I devoured “Pieces of Happily Ever After.”
The premise is familiar — Los Angeles-based mom is dumped by husband for another woman. But it’s what happens next and with whom that is refreshing. Zutell’s cast of characters are layered and detailed. Even those with bit parts are well-developed. And Zutell doesn’t let her characters take the easy road as heroine Alice navigates her way back to happiness and maybe a bit of happily ever after. This book is a breeze, but it’s not light. I’m relucant to call it chick lit, because Zutell defty handles some very complex situations in her story — a mother with Alzheimer’s, an angry daughter and a long-lost love.
Check it out and you’ll be sneak reading it too.
