Andi has spent much of her adult life looking for the perfect man, and at thirty-seven, she's finally found him. Ethan--divorced with two daughters, Emily and Sophia--is a devoted father and even better husband. Always hoping one day she would be a mother, Andi embraces the girls like they were her own. But in Emily’s eyes, Andi is an obstacle to her father’s love, and Emily will do whatever it takes to break her down. When the dynamics between the two escalate, they threaten everything Andi believes about love, family, and motherhood—leaving both women standing at a crossroad in their lives…and in their hearts. ANOTHER PIECE OF MY HEART is a novel that illuminates the nuances and truths about relationships and is Jane Green at her absolute best.

Review

Prepare for a roller coaster of a ride. Andi married late in life, waited for the "one". When she met Ethan she felt as if the stars aligned. She wanted to have a house full of children. But, Andi's dreams of having her own child probably won't happen. She is going through peri-menopause. Ethan doesn't mind though, he was previously married and has two daughters; Emily and Sophia.

Sophia is an easy going child but Emily, Emily is the catalyst in the story. When Emily is acting nice, things are good. When Emily doesn't want to play nice, things get bad. Just how bad will things get though? When Emily is arrested for an underage DUI, Andi goes to pick her up. However, what Andi sees is even more shocking. Emily is pregnant. What Andi has wanted her whole life, Emily is getting and she doesn't even want it. Find out what happens when this family plunges deep into each of their own ideas, trials and tribulations.

Another Piece of my Heart is an excellent book. I felt myself fighting for Andi, then Emily, then Cal... Couldn't get any better!

GRADE: B+
