Once Upon a Time, There Was You by Elizabeth Berg

Not one of Berg's best but still a strong tale of woe among 50-something divorcees.  The main female character, Irene, got a little tiresome after a while since I so disagreed with a lot of choices in both parenting and dealing with her ex-husband.  But, John, the ex, is a strongly written, interesting male voice in modern-day America.  I felt John had his feet planted more in the real world than Irene, especially when dealing with their 18-year-old daughter.  If you've read Berg (and other women's fiction) and liked her, you will mostly like this one.
