Sometimes Mine by Martha Moody

This was a little different take on an old theme. Genie is a 40 something cardiologist with an ex-husband and a daughter. She is having an affair with married Mick who is a winning basketball coach. They have been meeting on Thursday nights for eleven years. They make vague plans for 'someday' when they will be together. After all these years of a nice rhythm, everything seems to fall apart at once. Genie's daughter is involved with a man that Genie feels uncomfortable about, Mick's daughter is in need of a cardiologist and then Mick gets sick. That's enough to tell you. I enjoyed reading the book. The characters were well-done and so likable that it is hard to be mad at Mick and Genie for having the affair.
