Book Description

13 May 2010

A light-hearted and comic romp from the nation’s favourite storyteller and author of The Loner.

Footloose, fancy free and ready to get back in the game, newly divorced Ben is back home with mum which is just where she wants him. But best mate Dickie has other ideas, and soon they are sharing a flat, up to all sorts and plotting Ben's future romantic adventures.

But being single isn't all it's cracked up to be.

Ben staggers from one disaster to another – all under the beady gaze of his ex, who may not want him but doesn't want anyone else to have him either! And then there's Ben's co-worker Poppy, who seems very interested in his escapades too – could she have plans of her own?

Laugh-out-loud funny and based on true stories that you just couldn't make up, Divorced and Deadly is the perfect feel-good read.

Review

Praise for Josephine Cox:

'This is vintage Cox. Passionate and touching, an irresistible read. It's a perfect book to while away an afternoon. Just make sure you hide Born Bad away from your mum and grandmother because they'll love it too.' News of the World

'The latest emotionally charged story from the mega-selling author won't disappoint her army of fans.' Bella

'Cox's storytelling is persuasive and absorbing and her characters are easy to relate to.' Cambrian News

About the Author

Josephine started writing Divorced and Deadly as a series on her website, loosely based on true incidents that you couldn't make up if you tried. It proved so popular that the hilarious serial with exclusive new instalments is published here in hardback for the first time.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing and Dreary 30 Dec 2009
Format:Hardcover
I was so disappointed with this book - I wish I had read the reviews before buying it, but being written by Josephine Cox, I fully expected it to be very enjoyable. Sadly it was repetitive and very childish. I read it in two days and quite frankly was only too pleased to get to the end of it. Sorry Josephine, not up to your usual standard at all.

1.0 out of 5 stars This is awful! 29 Dec 2009
Format:Hardcover
I picked this up thinking it would be the usual chic-lit stuff. I have a very high tolerance for frothy, poorly written novels but this is jaw dropppingly bad. Her prose style is that of a ten year old (at best), the plot lines are so thin as to be pretty much non-existent and the characterisation barely there.
This is obviously a cynical money spinner: releasing a book, way below standard, on the back of a well known name. If anyone else had written this book and submitted it to a publisher, the editor would have chucked it in the bin after reading the first paragraph.

Certainly deadly: the most poorly written and amateurish book I have ever read in my life. How it was ever deemed worthy of publication beats me. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Different!!
This is not your normal average Josephine Cox.

This is quite a humerous book and easy to read, but I did find that after 200 pages Dickie was starting to annoy me. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Funny!
Funny book written in diary form. Main character has a kind of warped sense of humour that might not appeal to everyone. A real diversion from Josephine Cox's usual style. Read more
