Book Review: ‘Grounds For Divorce: A Novel’ By Remy Maisel

Emily Pierce lives in New York, works as an unpaid intern, her parents divorce when she was a young girl and she and her boyfriend Mike broke up a while ago. Then she gets a letter from the State Department wanting an interview with her for something she has no idea about. She goes to it and gets hired to help solve the issues between Israel and Palestine. The thing is they have the wrong Emily but she goes along with it and heads to Israel. She’s not allowed to tell anyone what she is doing except for Mike, who teaches where she’s going and he ends up staying at the same hotel as she does and tries to help. It’s a frustrating task as neither Israel or Palestine want to agree to anything. On top of that she runs into her parents on the beach at the Dead Sea and finds out after all these years they’re getting re-married (and we learn the whole backstory in a flashback section). Emily has got a plan to hopefully settle the whole issue with the two countries, while navigating her parents and Mike and the US Government. This is a great book. A fun story to follow along with some well-place twists and turns and LOL moments.
