On Mystic Lake by Kristin Hannah. As her 18 year old daughter flies to England for the summer Anne Colwater is told by her husband that he has been having a long term affair, no longer loves her and wants a divorce. Anne retreats to her childhood home in Mystic, Washington, where she encounters her old friend Nick, a widower with an emotionally scarred young daughter. She cuts her hair, falls in love with Nick and finds out she is pregnant by her soon to be ex-husband. Her husband wants her back so she tries but really only loves Nick. So she leaves her husband and goes back to Nick to start a new life. Very similiar to Maeve Binchy's, Tara Road, but I really never felt any connect for any of the characters as everyone felt flat.
