Why is starting over so complicated? After an amicable divorce, Tamara is ready to move on. She has loving friends, a meaningful job and a comfortable life. And yet, while everything seems to be in its correct place, she has the distinct feeling that nothing is as it should be. Feeling like she is losing control, Tamara struggles to answer a really difficult question: what does she really want? The Place Where We Belong is a novel about self-acceptance, belonging, friendship and love.





My Thoughts

This isn't a straight Non-Fiction / Self-Help novel, it's a fiction novel in which you will be able to take things you learn from the novel and the characters and maybe apply them in your own life. Much like other  novels, we can use the experiences of the characters we read about and reflect on how we would be in their shoes. I think most books are like this for me, where I try to put myself in the characters place, its what makes me feel the emotions of the book so deeply when I read.

As for the writing itself. I enjoyed the characters and the growth they showed throughout the novel. I liked how I didn't 100% agree with everything or understand all motives, it's what made the book seem real to me. 

R.K. Mayer does a great job of bringing real life scenarios to life in her novel and characters.
