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.

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.
