Isn't that what happens after an affair? But she's seen friends divorce, and it's not pretty. Plus, she and Joel have kids and an otherwise-happy life, and she still loves him, although begrudgingly.</p><p>Furious and feeling stuck, she suggests having her own affair to even the score. Joel, desperate for forgiveness, agrees. But does she really want to go through with it? And how exactly does a married mother of two get back in the dating pool? Many awkward dates follow until she finds a deep and unexpected connection where she was least looking for it.</p><p>Just as she thinks she's made a decision, her journey to happiness is waylaid by storms of doubt. But the important thing is that she's finally figuring out what she truly wants for herself, and she understands that whatever choice she makes must be hers and hers alone.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"A moving look at the heartbreaks and high points of a long relationship." <b>--<i>Kirkus Reviews</i></b></p><p>"Told in her signature realistic style, LaBan (<i>Not Perfect</i>, 2018) brings to life what happens when a marriage goes devastatingly wrong...This is a great addition to collections where Elyssa Frieland's <i>The Intermission</i> (2018) and other stories of misguided but appealing characters messing up relationships are popular." <b>--<i>Booklist</i></b></p><p>"This book begins quickly with an intriguing premise...LaBan gives voice to the conflicting thoughts and emotions spouses experience following infidelity." <b>--<i>Library Journal</i></b></p><p>"A gripping story of betrayal, hope, and the messy detours to everlasting love." <b>--<i>Woman's World</i></b></p><p>"<i>Beside Herself</i> is a sweet story of self-discovery, forgiveness, and finding out where you truly belong." <b>--<i>Arizona Foothills Magazine</i></b></p><p>"Elizabeth LaBan's characters are so immediately relatable that I defy any reader not to lose herself inside these pages.
