On his way to tell his wife, Emily, that he wants a divorce, Sandy Portman is hit by a car and killed. When he pleads for a second chance, he is given it - but in a dog's body named Einstein.
Emily thought their life was good. Oh sure, there were problems but what marriage doesn't have them? Sandy's funeral is hardly over when she learns she is about to be evicted from the apartment they shared. Only the love and support she receives from her adopted dog, Einstein, get her through the next months and all the revelations about her life with Sandy that come out.
Can Einstein right all the wrongs done to Emily by Sandy? Will Emily come to terms with her life and her past? I suppose the answer is "Do fish swim?" But I liked the characters in this book a lot and enjoyed the New York setting. Particularly interesting to me were the references to publishing and the book industry with some inside references that made me laugh out loud. And Emily's route to forgiveness and acceptance isn't necessarily a smooth one so I kept turning the pages to find out how it would end.
