Some love stories have to begin with a falling-out-of-love story. Mattie Carrigan's been helping her rodeo cowboy husband Wes Bishop run his family's Tennessee Walking Horse operation since they were married nineteen years ago. Blessed with twin daughters who've recently left for college, Mattie is looking forward to this new stage in her and Wes's life. But when she finds a strange key in her husband's jacket, she's forced to admit that Wes has been quiet and distant lately. Turns out he has been keeping secrets. And he's not the only one. Even the rancher next door, Nat Diamond–a friend Mattie could always count on in the past–seems to be holding something back from her.
Good Together is for anyone who has ever pondered what it means to be married. Or had to reinvent her life when one breaks down. It's about having your heart broken but being strong enough to survive and love again.
My Review 2 STARS

Sadly, this book missed the mark for me. It stayed more on the negative path and Mattie spent 95% of the book crying over her failed marriage, with the other 5% missing her children and wanting her neighbour Nat.
Lots of negativity in this book and Mattie was not the character i thought she was. For a lady who spent the majority of her time being an all but single mother most of her married life it was disappointing to see her act like a lost puppy.
The sides of the story from the daughters lives also seemed pointless. The story should have just focused on Mattie and Nat, but it seemed like the daughters side was just space filler and the ending did seem more than a little rushed.
I did however enjoy that the story focused on a more mature woman, even though this one acted like she had been completely sheltered her whole life.
