Dear Emily is the story of a woman who made her life her husband and what happened when, predictably (at least in the fiction world), he leaves her high and dry. How she comes back to find herself and builds a world based on her own work and friendships. Not exactly an earthshaking piece of literature, but very readable and enjoyable, at least to me.

This book had a very slow start. The only reason I actually kept reading it was because I absolutely love this author. I was glad that I did. The second half of the book picked up speed and I could no longer put it down.
