The More Love Grows

D-I-V-O-R-C-E

Rachel Boston has a particular acting style. Animated? Energetic? Bright-eyed and bushy tailed? Hard to describe in one word. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t.

My problem with this one was the short shrift the dissolution of a 20-year marriage with a child is given. The husband just leaves with no warning or discussion. And it’s not like there were serious issues in the marriage. No cheating or emotional/physical abuse, addiction issues, mental health issues, etc. And no counseling. Even though her new man was a better guy than old husband, and she was better off without old husband, it bothered me. His lack of effort at the beginning, and her lack of effort at the end when he came crawling back.

One thing I loved about this one was when Rachel Boston’s friends were on the fence about their support for her when he took off, she just dropped them. “You are not my friends.” Good for her.

  1. I hate it when they spill coffee so you can imagine how I felt about oil, and strategically placed oil stains at that. Nice she got all spiffed up to do the job…..since it was Hallmark I’m sure she was wearing heels! 😉 I do like Rachel Boston. I watched Blind Date Book Club again which is the best I’ve seen in a long time and you were right with the 8…..using the term “genre hopping” was a minus 2 for sure. Also I kept thinking about J K Rowling and Robert Galbraith and nobody treated her like a criminal!!
