Love and Other Natural Disasters

by Holly Shumas

Love and Other Natural Disasters Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Review:

"Eve is grateful for the family and friends that surround her Thanksgiving table, including her husband, Jonathon; their five-year-old son, Jacob; and a baby due to make its arrival in a few short weeks. But in this predictable second novel from Shumas (Five Things I Can't Live Without), Eve's idyll gets trashed when a phone call interrupts their holiday dinner and exposes Jonathon's too-cozy friendship with another woman. What turns out to be an emotional affair launches a maelstrom of emotions for both Eve and Jon, neither of whom realized how much their marriage had disintegrated. As they struggle to work things out, they learn a lot about themselves and each other. Throughout the novel, Shumas, a therapist, invites the reader to consider the question — is it cheating if nothing physical happens? Shumas relies heavily on the standard marriage-in-trouble arc (separation, his disheveled bachelor apartment, her ill-fated fling), and readers familiar with the formula will know what to expect." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)

Synopsis:

Eve is eight months pregnant and in the middle of a Thanksgiving celebration when she discovers that her husband Jon has developed an intimate relationship with a woman over the past year. What Jon has done seems so terrifyingly out of character that Eve finds herself questioning her entire reality.
