Silly Dash, Stuffy husband : Mad Dash: A Novel
This was a decent read, but not my beloved Gaffney book. It pales in comparison to saving Graces. I found the nickname "Dash" to be a tiny bit superficial - sounded like the nickname was picked for the title of the book. The husband's character was a bit too stereotypical and I indeed did not enjoy the chapters written on his life.
I give props to the plot and the topic of the book - a husband and wife have marital strife after their only childs goes away to college. Gaffney did a decent job with Dash and her thoughts/actions/life. But Andrew was lacking. The chapters devoted to Andrew were devoid of substance and frankly, unappealing. I think she could have advanced his character a lot more and gave him more depth. He was more like the stereotypical genius husband without collective grace.
This book would make a decent beach read, but beyond that, look to Gaffney's earlier works for a great read. saving Graces is still my beloved thus far.




The poor thing was cold and trembling, abandoned on their front doorstep. Dash, impulsive as always, decides on the spot that they should keep it. But her husband, Andrew, thinks it’s the craziest thing he’s ever heard. A fight over a scruffy little dog doesn’t seem like much of a reason to walk out on your husband of twenty years—but the spat over the puppy is just the last of many straws.
