This is a story about Karen, Elliot and their family and friends. Karen was married before and has two children. Her husband Ray ran out on her and later she met and fell in love with Elliot and married him.
Elliot decides to buy a gym with some other guys from their small town and Karen is worried about the money he is spending and the fact that he didn't talk to her about a lot of it because he knew how she was about money and he was trying not worry her. Most of the book is taken up with Karen's fears and insecurities about money and the love of her husband.
The secondary characters are interesting and the whole small town atmosphere is lovely. I did find the book dragged in parts though and I was very tired of reading about their marital problems by the end of it. They both could have used counseling.
