Rating: M for romance between adults

Diann Hunt did an amazing job with her mixture of humor and truth in For Better or For Worse.

Is it possible to have a coming-of-age story when the main character is in her forties? It is when the she is a pleaser and needs to get a backbone!

Wendy Hartline, lover of all things chocolate, doesn’t like conflict and will lie down like a doormat to avoid it. She’s surrounded by family from whom she feels estranged, has a job she subconsciously hates, and a boyfriend even the meekest Christian would want to slap.

Enter Marco Amorini. Sweet when he wants to be and gruff just as often, the man is an absolute magnet to any woman who passes within cologne-sniffing distance.

Frustrations mount, tension builds, as Wendy the wedding planner entangles herself with Marco the divorce lawyer. The woman’s gonna pop like Orville Redenbacher’s . . .

Diann Hunt has a delightful sense of humor, and the enviable ability to put it on paper. If you’re too embarrassed to laugh out loud, don’t bother with this book–you’ll find yourself in a permanent blush. On a scale of one to ten, Diann gets a ten from me for her giggle-inducing story.

My favorite line in the book had me drifting in thought for quite some time: "Confiding in Logan was like baring your soul to a rock."

I know way too many people like that, and after listing them in my head (having recently encountered a couple of them), I spent a bit more time thanking the Lord for my friends who aren’t like that. And a couple more moments praying that I’m not like that. Finding little gold nuggets like this one is one of my greatest pleasures when I read. It’s not the only one Diann slips into her story, so feel free to go gold mining.
