"Still Crazy" by Judy Prescott Marshall is the book I never knew I needed. In a time where the world is a scary and stressful place, this was a nice escape for me. The protagonist Julie was a complex woman full of many intricacies. The story took place in different parts---there was the Julie before (bakery owner, wife of the year) and the Julie after (innkeeper, keeps everyone at an arms length away).

While I've been in a relationship that involved cheating, I've never been in one while married. Still, I felt like I could relate to some of Julie's inner musings. Questioning herself, wondering why she wasn't good enough, etc. I felt for Julie as she had to make the difficult decision on how to handle her husband's cheating---was it real or was it made up? If she can't trust him, should she leave or stay with him because she loves him?

Julie's decision to leave was one I really grappled with. In some ways, I found it entirely unrealistic-- would someone leave not only their husband, but their home, their business, and all their friends behind? With my personality, this would never happen. But it made the story interesting- talk about a fresh start!! My fresh starts usually include a new haircut or shade of color. Let's just say Julie is more impulsive than me.

I really enjoyed seeing Julie pick up the pieces and start her life over. I won't delve too deep into the ending because I do not want to give it away, but I will say I found it satisfying. I would like to actual read about her next chapter in the future. I think there is more story to tell.

Thanks to NetGalley for providing me an ARC of "Still Crazy" by Judy Prescott Marshall in exchange for an honest review.

This book just wasn't fo me. It jumps from one setting to another constantly making it hard to actually get into the book.
I could not get through it.
Hope others like it.

Thanks to the Author, the publisher and NetGalley for an early release of this book.
