The Overdue Life of Amy Byler by Kelly Harms

When Amy Byler's husband left her and their two kids, it took every ounce of her energy to go back to work, maintain the house, pay the bills and be a single mom.  Now, after 3 years, her husband is back and wants to re-connect with the kids over the summer.  When Amy comes across an opportunity to go to New York, she jumps at the chance to re-visit her college roots.  What she discovers, however, is  under that huge layer of "mom" is an intelligent and attractive woman desperate for more than just a summer in the spotlight.

I loved the humour in this book and laughed out loud several times.  I also found the emotions and relationships in the book to be very real: you want to comfort Amy when she's hurt, angry, and down on herself, and you want to cheer her discoveries and accomplishments. I gave this book 4 stars.
