‘A wonderful, witty treat of a novel: cutting and clever, and yet so very romantic, as though P.G. Wodehouse had satirized life in the suburbs.&;—Liane Moriarty
‘Laugh-out-loud funny, yet with real emotion at its core, this is a sexy-smart rom-com about love and marriage.&;—Australian Women&;s Weekly
‘[A] clever and moving comedy about love and marriage…Hilarious and romantic.&;—Who Weekly
This is a comedy about love and marriage. Specifically, the marriages of Caroline and Henry, and Lesley and Craig, and Janice and Alec.
Except that Henry&;s not going to be with Caroline for much longer now Martha&;s on the scene and to be truthful Lesley and Craig have a few trust issues that may not prove 100% resolvable. And Janice divorced Alec two years ago—although that didn&;t have anything to do with falling out of love with him, quite the reverse actually, so it&;s awkward when he turns up unexpectedly and finds Janice and Craig naked in Caroline&;s bedroom.
But all relationships have their ups and downs, don&;t they?
A brilliant, heartbreaking, hilarious novel.
