I watched a ladybug crawl along the edge of the sink. I was pretty sure it wasn’t real – its sposts were shapes like stars. I’d left my camera in my backpack. -Made You Up

What would it have been like to have a man love you like that? Would it have changed something fundamental in your psyche to wake up each morning knowing that you were loved, that someone wanted to touch your body even when it got all old and wrinkly? -The Last Anniversary

I thought it was my birthright as a woman to have that time, at least once, where a man treats you like a princess, rubbing your feet at night, pressing his hand to your stomach, masterfully ordering you not to pick up anything too heavy. But apparently not. -The Hypnotist’s Love Story

The First Husband: A Novel by Laura Dave
My 32nd book of the year, The First Husband, is the first Laura Dave book I’ve read but it certainly will not be the last. Our narrator (main character) has this amazingly relatable insight and perspective. There’s a big event in the first chapter and the book keeps up that pace. Though there was a point where I yelled at Josh that this book was too much like real life, because I didn’t think that Annie (main character) going to have a happy ending. The ending however, did not let me down, and I think you all would enjoy this story.
I really did love this book. I know I’m into a book when I complain to Josh about it the same way I would complain if something was going wrong in my own life. God Bless that man he listens to me as if any of matters.
If you read this one, come back and tell me what you thought.
