I am guessing this one would be romance.

"Elizabeth and Jackson Shore married young, raised two daughters, and weathered the storms of youth as they built a family. From a distance, their lives look perfect. But after the girls leave home, Jack and Elizabeth quietly drift apart. When Jack accepts a wonderful new job, Elizabeth puts her own needs aside to follow him across the country. Then tragedy turns Elizabeth's world upside down. In the aftermath, she finds herself questioning her life - her choices, her marriage, and her long-forgotten dreams. In a daring move that will shock her husband, friends, and daughters, she chooses to let go of the woman she has become - and reach out for the woman she wants to be."

But perhaps not a romance, but chick lit.

I really enjoyed this book! I started to read it yesterday at lunchtime, while at work, and I ended up staying up until almost 1 AM to get to the end of the story.

THe author did well expressing the feelings of both of the main characters and bringing up issues that we all face in life, such as the death of a parent, possible death of a marriage and children growing up as they leave the nest to become their own person.

I liked that the author didn't make the story "pretty" and touched on some really touch issues during the course of the book. I enoyed the book, start to finish, and the characters.
