No One Else by M K Tracy
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Hannah Martin has the wedding of her dreams. She married the love of her life Gavin and vows that they will be one of those couples together forever. However, her optimism is short lived. Seven years and three kids later, the stresses of family life wear heavily on both Hannah and Gavin. When Gavin is laid off things seem at their lowest point, until Hannah becomes determined to make ends meet. She lands a job in a new city and takes charge of the family. Gavin, despondent that his role as head of the house is suddenly cut out from under him has taken to alleviate his male ego with the lady next door.
I was not terribly impressed by the book. It had a promising plot and start and the “everything goes wrong” is not an unheard-of setup in the literary world. I would have liked to see more world-building, or character development. Hannah goes through little growth other than in the beginning when she decides to get a job. The rest of the plot points feel a bit rehashed and overused with no new or fresh spins o them. The twist towards the end was out of nowhere which can work well, but only seemed to get this book further off track. It was okay, but nothing that I would re-read.
