Can this relationship be saved?

I think 'can this couple be saved' says it all. Laurel and Elaine have been together 4 years but it might as well have been 4 months. Neither knows how to communicate with the other. They both love each other but are unable to express it or express their unhappiness. Laurel has completely shut Elaine off from her life and rebuffs any attempt by Elaine to get closer. They both are passively letting the relationship end. It really was interesting to me to see where the story would take us. As always with this author the book is very well written and is a complete page turner that you could easily not put down until the last page. Don't miss my favorite from this author "When Love Finds a Home"

Communication is Key

Two women, loving partners who have entwined their lives, can lose everything if they don't communicate. That's what happens to Laurel Becker and Elaine Alexander after a series of miscommunications and erroneous assumptions drive them apart. Laurel is driving herself crazy trying to keep her late lover Chris' bookstore from bankruptcy. She spends every free moment either at the store or working for the store. Her current partner, Elaine, is at her wit's end. She wants to help ease Laurel's burden, but Laurel is too proud to accept that help. Leaning on the shoulders of their friends and coworkers, both women spend all their time either worried about or angry with the other. The final straw is when they begin to suspect each other of cheating. Laurel kicks Elaine out, closes the store, and goes somewhere to think. In the meantime, Elaine is worried sick about Laurel and searches frantically for her. When they reunite, things are chilly between them. Will true love and patience prevail over the memory of a dead woman? This is a good story and is certainly not "formula." It's the story of two women who haven't been unfaithful, but appear to have been because of a communication gap. If only they had talked rationally... However, we all have "if onlys" in our lives.
