Apex Review Of Life After Perfect (Nancy Naigle)

Sept. 11, 2015 - PRLog -- Life After Perfect is about a woman named Katherine Barclift, who is a project manager for a bank and is married to a man named Ron Barclift for ten years. Together since college, one day Katherine learns Ron has been unfaithful, and as a result she leaves town to try and clear her mind to find a solution to her now unsuccessful marriage. As she’s driving, she stops to fill up her car in Boot Creek, North Carolina, and meets a doctor named Derek Hansen. Derek’s wife died of cancer, and he’s grieving and trying to move forward; he feels guilty that he was unable to save her, despite trying different medical trials to help her. Derek is also unsure if he has the right to try and find a new companion after her passing.

Katherine changes her name to Katy, a nickname her husband thought was silly and made her stop using it. Though she has feelings for Derek, he’s unsure at times how to express his feelings for Katy without sounding silly. She’s is the first woman he’s pursued since Laney, but both of them care for one another, though they’re very hesitant to act upon their feelings.

Moving forward, Katy makes new friends while she’s in Boot Creek, and eventually divorces Ron. Soon, both she and Derek realize that they both care for one another and should not let their past stop them from being together.

Life After Perfect demonstrates that an individual can be emotionally and mentally involved with someone for a very long time, but that doesn’t result in a successful relationship. At the same time, the book demonstrates how individuals have to be strong to move on after infidelity, regardless of if others believe they should stay. This novel is perfect for anyone who enjoys reading romance novels, especially ones that show how being involved in a failed relationship doesn’t mean the individual should stop seeking romance. Many readers will be able to sympathize with both Katy and Derek and hope they won’t make a decision based on their negative relationship backgrounds.

In Life After Perfect, Nancy Naigle shows how difficult love can be, but that shouldn’t mean individuals should stop caring and loving for another person. Additionally, she shows that when illnesses are present, such as cancer, it shouldn’t cause the loved ones around you to blame themselves and give up hope in finding a cure.
