" To me, this book was deeply sad. The only character I truly related to was Karen, the woman who loses her husband suddenly when he has a heart attack on the train while sitting next to her. For Karen, yes, this moment on this morning truly changed her life. It seemed to me, though, that the author forced the connection between this man (Simon)'s death and the changes the other two main characters - Anna and Lou - made in their own lives. This wasn't a bad book, but it also wasn't a book a rushed home to read. I knew, each time I picked it up, that I'd be depressed by Karen's sections and bored by Anna and Lou's sections. "
