Format:Paperback
If your intrigue is mistresses and affairs then you'll love this book. It's witty and grown up, heartbreaking and sad, bitchy and friendly all at once. It's real life told from many viewpoints and talks a lot of truth and common sense. The main female, Helen, is the mistress and has been for a patient four years. Over a sad Christmas she decides that she's had enough and this is the end for her and Matthew, her boss, whilst Matthew also having a disastrous Christmas decides to leave his wife and two daughters and takes it for granted that he can move in with Helen. Without spoiling the rest of the story for any potential readers, it's quite obvious that Helen's difficulty is trying to get Matthew out of her home and regain her independence without hurting his feelings. I found this book unputdownable - it's an excellent story with loads of wit and clever humour, there's never a dull moment and I can't wait for a second novel from Jane Fallon.

When I saw the recent review which stated that it was a horrible book, I was expecting not to like it. But I thought it was a light hearted and funny read. I actually quite liked helen, yes she was selfish but arn't we all sometimes, and it makes a change for the main character not to be so heroic. I'd give it go, you just might like it.

I have to say, I read some of the reviews and upon reflection I think that some of them are a little harsh.
I personally enjoyed it and found it a real page turner. The subject may not be to eveyone's liking but I found it a jolly good read!

Would not recommend
This book started off OK, but as I went on I didn't like Helen at all. There was also too much swearing, particulary the F-word which was totally unecessary and for me spoiled the... Read more
