A False Sense Of Well Being

by Jeanne Braselton

This was an interesting read as far as seeing people think, say and do, but for me not a top notch.  Jessie Maddox is dealing with a boring marriage, and at the same time comparing her life to a married friend having an affair and a sister who parties with lots of guys.  I would imagine there are plenty of women that have gone through a similar kind of life analysis at some point.  The book is well written and seems real to life.

Book Cover Summary:
"Thirty eight year old Jessie Maddox seems to live the perfect suburban life in her quiet Georgia town.  But her husband, Turner, the very model of a dutiful partner and responsible citizen, is terribly dull.  Jessie can't stop thinking of all the ways Turner might die and the opportunities she would have to play the grieving widow.  Before doing something she'll regret, she heads to her Alabama hometown to regroup.  But her family doesn't exactly provide the vacation she needs."
