- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Kate discovers her husband has had what he describes as an "inappropriate friendship" with another woman, but then this turns out to be the tip of the iceberg. While dealing with the failure of her marriage, Kate is also grappling with deteriorating conditions at work.Apart from a bit of a sag in the middle during which I considered abandoning Kate to her misery, I enjoyed reading this. Kate had her flaws, but overall was a sympathetic character, and some of the scenes where she interacted with her daughters were very amusing. I particularly enjoyed the scene where she seeks to reassure them that their father leaving is not their fault, only to be countered with their take on the situation. The narrative was entirely from Kate's viewpoint, so we never got to hear Adam's perspective, and there was so little focus on the time before Kate discovered his infidelity that it was hard to assess whether Kate really had missed signs she should (could?) have picked up on or not. It mostly seemed as if Adam had been a very accomplished liar.I found the parts dealing with hotel management interesting, although Kate's actual job seemed to fluctuate between on the one hand being really quite high powered and on the other involving the micromanagement of individual staff members at specific hotels. I will always rinse the cups in my hotel room before using them from now on...
