In this humorously touching novel by the critically acclaimed author of Degrees of Love, a woman's limits of love and forgiveness are tested when her high school sweetheart blindsides her with a divorce after eighteen years of marriage.

At sixteen, Kimberly Kirby thought the only thing she needed to be perfectly happy was to spend the rest of her life with Jay Braxton. Twenty years later, she still believes it. As they proudly watch their daughter, Haley, graduate from high school, she imagines her life is as perfect as anyone could reasonably expect. Jay is a formidable attorney, she a freelance writer, and their love as strong as ever. With Haley heading to UC Berkeley in the fall, Kimberly fantasizes about making love on the kitchen table. She has no clue that Jay's bags are already packed.

Now divorced and determined to squelch her love for Jay, she accepts a gig writing a sex and dating blog for divorcees. As the Virgin Dater, she is on the hunt for love. No-strings-attached nights with a sexy fireman and moving to San Francisco are just what she needs to boost her battered ego and mend her shattered heart.

But just as she falls for a talented young chef, Jay fights to win her back. Torn between their shared history and her bold new life, she questions if there is too much to forgive. The ten thousand I love yous that had passed Jay's lips can't be dismissed, but nor can her newfound freedom and the knowledge that her happiness doesn't depend on Jay.

Sue's Reviews

A dreary tale about a newly divorced woman and her sexual escapades. Two bored stars.

Beoordeeld in de Verenigde Staten 🇺🇸 op 3 februari 2022

Geverifieerde aankoop

What a disappointment! The author's debut novel easily earned five stars from me, but I found nothing worthwhile in this dreary tale about a self absorbed, newly divorced woman and her sexual escapades. I expected something beyond several scenes of steamy sex, but this story has nothing else. There's no danger, excitement, action, suspense, mystery or conflict, unless you count the woman's baffling inability to stop loving her ex-husband. In short, this book contains none of the elements that make a story interesting. It's boring, predictable, and far too long.

****WARNING: MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD!****

Here's the plot. 37-year-old Kimberly Braxton is stunned when her husband (Jay) suddenly announces that he doesn't love her. He can't even stand to have sex with her with the lights on! While she begs him to stay, he grabs his suitcase and walks out. Wealthy and handsome, he wants to be free of their suffocating marriage. The guy is a total jerk in my opinion, but Kimberly still loves him. Nonetheless, a woman has physical needs, and one year later she's craving sexual satisfaction.

Here's where things get dumb. She flirts with a young checker in a grocery store and kisses him in the parking lot. She gets drunk at a nightclub, where she hooks up with a sexy firefighter (Kevin) and gives him a hand job (right there in the club). She enjoys weeks of steamy sex with the guy, but she dumps him when she finds out he's married. Meanwhile, Jay misses her and wants her back. I got so tired of her endless internal monologues about her marriage to Jay and whether or not she should take him back. He hurt her terribly, but they have a daughter and all this history together, blah blah blah.

Anyway, in an effort to start fresh, Kimberly moves from Davis to San Francisco, where she runs into the gorgeous checker from the grocery store (Joshua), who's now working as a sous chef in a Latin-fusion restaurant. He's ten years her junior, but insta-lust flares between them and leads to months of passionate sex. Naturally, Jay learns of the affair and isn't happy about it, so he does his best to come between them and worm his way back into Kimberly's life. Ugh! Joshua is a great guy who really loves Kimberly, but Jay is the "love of her life." Should she break up with Joshua and give Jay another chance? ("Heck, no!" I screamed. "Don't be stupid!") Unfortunately, Kimberly isn't smart.

The entire story is told from Kimberly's point of view, so we're constantly subjected to her self absorbed thoughts and feelings. I felt no emotional connection with her or anyone else in this book, but I did feel sorry for Kevin and Joshua and the way Kimberly used them for sex. The book is well written from a technical standpoint, with professional proofreading and limited use of f-bombs and other profanities. But the aggravating main characters and foolish plot ruined this story, lowering my rating to two stars overall.

Great realistic story

Beoordeeld in de Verenigde Staten 🇺🇸 op 22 februari 2022

I'm really tired of the typical romantic novel of the happy couple living in a fairy tale. I've been looking for a more realistic story for a long time and I found it here. Ten Thousand I Love Yous by Lisa Slabach is a wonderful book. The story of the female protagonist, Kimberly, can be any middle-aged woman story. There are a lot of young ladies out there believing in prince charming, and they should know that this idea of perfection is not real. Lisa's work is amazing. Not only does she tell a captivating story, but she also tells it wonderfully. The descriptions present in the narrative give a very detailed idea of the characters' feelings. These descriptions, together with the writing style, immersed me in Kimberly's world. I kept reading page after page trying to figure out the next turn in the story. I've read that Lisa Slabach has written a previous book and I can't wait to read it.

Good read

Beoordeeld in de Verenigde Staten 🇺🇸 op 19 september 2022

Geverifieerde aankoop

I like a good marriage reconciliation book, and this one had a lot of the elements that I like--good writing, delving into emotions, some angst. I wish more time and depth had been spent on delving into what went wrong with the marriage and reflection on fixing it. There was some whiplash with too quick of a resolution at the end. I didn't feel there was sufficient explanation for the cruelty of the day that her husband left her (actually picked her up when she was crying and set her on the couch). He says later that he regrets that day, but why so cruel and why doesn't she confront him on it? I would have enjoyed an extra chapter or two for them them delve into all of this. So good book but not enough at the end.

Really Enjoyed It!

Beoordeeld in de Verenigde Staten 🇺🇸 op 21 februari 2022

Geverifieerde aankoop

Kimberly's husband, Jay, plans to divorce her after 20 years of marriage. While he moves on with his life, Kim is trapped wondering what she did wrong while also attempting to look forward. Every page was a pleasure to read. Kimberly's post-divorce experience was nothing short of a roller coaster ride. There were times when I couldn't believe what she was saying, but there were also occasions when I understood and felt her feelings. It was encouraging to witness how she progressed from being reliant on her husband and kid to becoming independent and, for the most part, knowing what path she wanted to take. I certainly wasn't expecting the book to finish like it did, however…

Tender, charming, and emotionally heartbreaking

Beoordeeld in de Verenigde Staten 🇺🇸 op 27 februari 2022

Geverifieerde aankoop

I love the cover of this book and color hues with the girl lying while watching the skies but more than that, Ten Thousand I Love Yous by Lisa Slabach is a very well-written book with a storyline that is so tender, charming, and yet emotionally heart-breaking all at the same time. Kimberly Kirby has been married to Jay Braxton and now they already have a teenage girl. She still believes that everything is going well and that they are both happy. Sad to say, Jay surprised her with a divorce. To end their sweet love story in a divorce was so sad, yet I found the strength in Kimberly’s character as she moved forward and find love again. However, Jay went back to ask forgiveness. Will she ever accept him? It was an emotional roller-coaster reading this book. All throughout, I was so curious as to how the story would end and what would Kimberly’s decision would be. A lot of people would have a different take on this should this situation happen to them, but I love how Kimberly remained strong and positive.
