Tempting Fate/Jane Green/343 pgs./April challenge

Gabby has a good life: a loving husband, Elliott; two teenage daughters, Olivia and Alanna; good friends; outside interests, etc. She is, also, in her early forties, and is questioning her appeal as a woman. So, during a girls night out at the bar, Gabby meets Matt, early thirties, single, and very handsome. Gabby feels young and alive, but has no intentions of doing anything stupid that would jeopardize her family life. But intentions, no matter how good, don't always turn out as planned--or in this case, unplanned. Mistakes are made, ties are severed, and the damage is done. How Gabby, Elliott, Olivia, and Alanna deal with the resulting destruction to their family life, and the attempt to rebuild their family unit is central to the story. The author does a very good job of delving into the feelings and complexities of the family members. Highly recommended.
