Degrees of Love by Lisa Slabach

Like the shiny new BMW parked in the driveway of the home she shares with her husband, Matt, and their two boys, Susan Sinclair typifies personal and professional success. Yet with each advance in her career, Matt has grown more distant. When Susan becomes entangled with her new boss, she is forced to examine choices made and the cost of happiness.  "Through Susan, Slabach crafts a relatable, heart breakingly real story that will no doubt resonate with those at a similar station in life: women who love their families yet yearn for just a little more--to feel wanted rather than needed, to feel passion rather than complacency."—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)  “A woman craves happiness and balance in Slabach’s piercing debut … decisions and consequences feel familiar and real in this smart and sensual novel.”—Publisher’s Weekly
