Based on the blurbs, I expected the Bates' relationship to be much worse off than it appeared in this book. I never got the sense that Lucy was really going to leave Charlie--maybe temporarily to take Zoey to the boarding house and stay with her, but even that I didn't think was a serious break up. Lucy seems to have a more open heart while Charlie covers up his heart with gruffness.
Lucy and Charlie have 2 boys. Zoey gives Lucy a chance to enjoy some "girl stuff" that she would have gotten to do if she'd had a daughter.
Zoey's had a bit of a raw deal in life. She's got a learning disability that's never been diagnosed or explored which has made her think she's "dumb". She's been moved around to several foster families and separated from her brother (Kevin). She's gotten involved with some of the wrong kids and has a stalker ex-boyfriend. Her time-honed coping mechanism is running away, so it's going to take some serious love and patience to overcome that. Deep down, she's a good-hearted girl.
The author sets up a bit of a love triangle between Betty, Nate, and Alex. Betty's business partner, Molly, wants Betty to be in a relationship with Alex. Betty's heart seems more drawn to Nate. I don't think Betty was wrong to explore a relationship with Alex even though she thought she was more drawn to Nate and Betty did eventually break it off with Alex (within a month or so of meeting him and after half a dozen "dates" or less and once she realized she didn't feel the same way about him as he might about her).
Betty also has a heart-to-heart talk with her adult son, Brian. This talk appears to clear the air and make Betty more aware of what she wants out of life. ( )
