About this ebook
Jess Marlowe always sensed her marriage had a limited run. So when a reckless mistake ended it, she was hardly shocked. But since her divorce became final, the surprises have been coming fast and furious. It seems no one in Jess's life is having an easy time adjusting to her newly single status. Most disturbing of all, Jess has no regrets. She knows nobody promised relationships lasted forever. But now she wonders if it's ever right to promise anyone anything. Yet despite Jess's resolve to act with her head from now on, she just may have to accept that the heart has a say of its own. . .

Reviews for Back In the Game
9 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Back in the Game was not one of my favorites by Holly Chamberlain; however, may be worth reading for some women who relate.
The novel is about four women who find themselves going through a divorce. They share their miseries with one another along with some tops about divorce. One man turned gay, another had his wife cheat on him, another wants a baby and he doesn't and another has found his own true love.
Of course, they go through the dating scene and not really my type of escape as too many problems and not a lot of substance. - Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I have to admit that I skipped around in this book. The chapters weren't long enough to really "get" the characters so I ended up jumping around and reading the chapters of Jess and Laura, the only characters I found interesting. Still Jess wasn't really interesting and Laura was just crazy and her whole storyline was surreal and rushed. Overall, not something I would recommend. A pretty quick read.
