Time for a Change (by Erica James)

Time for a Change by Erica James
(Amazon UK link)
'Time for a Change' is a novel by Erica James. While most of her books stand alone, this one is the direct sequel to 'A Breath of Fresh Air'.

The story is about Hilary who finds evidence that her husband David is having an affair. Unsurprisingly, her world turns upside-down as she tries to come to terms with it.

This book works very well as a sequel, in my view. It features the same neighbourhood as the first book, but from a totally different perspective. Hilary's character is well-developed and she becomes much more believable.

There's rather a predictable ending, but the novel was well-written. Overall I thought it was an enjoyable and relaxing light read.
