Book description
Looks like we made it...
From the outside looking in, Cassie Martin's life is storybook
perfect. She and her investment banker husband, Rick, have everything
-- financial stability, a loving marriage, and a to-die-for apartment
overlooking the Manhattan skyline that they share with their two young
sons and one stinky but beloved dog. It may not be the height of
excitement, but Cassie's content to take care of her family and
compete in the superparenting sweepstakes of the New York City private
school mom. Then one night, in one instant, everything changes. Rick
has been offered an exciting new opportunity involving a...Barry
Manilow retrospective? And he wants -- no, needs -- to try to get
the feeling again.
I can't smile without you...or can I?
What can a woman do once she's been abandoned for brown polyester
leisure suits and an a capella version of "Weekend in New
England" other than hope her husband will eventually come to his
senses? But as Cassie tries to keep her life afloat among the
complications of financial insecurity, warring parents of her own, a
mother-in-law who suddenly wants to become best girlfriends 4ever, and
the advent of a third child in her life, it becomes clear that there's
more to the Manilow story than meets the eye. And as fate would have
it, Cassie's new work has her venturing into some of the city's
hottest night spots -- definitely not the Copacabana -- and maybe,
just maybe, into the arms of a man who will help her try to get the
feeling again....
