I agree with lots of reviews here, that this is a gripping read, and i too finished it more or less in one sitting. I disagree, however, that there is anything remotely funny about it.I do think some of the descriptions of Mia's pain are very well observed, and the sheer agony she is feeling comes accross very clearly;anyone who has been in this situation will empathise with the rawness of her feelings.However,I think we see an obsessive-like descent into madness as the book progresses.Mia's actions change her from being the wronged party secretly reading text messages and weighing up her options,to the rather worrying bunny boiler obsessive i feel she becomes later in the novel.Maybe loving someone so much is a kind of madness and Mia's panicked, terror stricken reactions to life without Peter should serve as a warning! Lucy Dawson has created three characters in such a way that makes it very difficult to decide which of them is actually sane and telling the truth!I finished the book not liking either Mia or Peter, and thought the final paragraph very chilling;perhaps these two deserve each other. I felt sorry for Liz, who as the other woman, should not deserve it, but her entanglement with both Mia and Peter nearly destroys her.
Overall, a really absorbing book that will surprise you.

I absolutely loved this. I bought it based on word of mouth recommendation, as I don't usually go for chick-lit type books as I've read too many with predictable plots and generic/ dull character types. I did think this would be the same, which is why this book really needs a new title and cover, as both suggest that it is a fluffy tale of a woman scorned, when in reality it's edgier, darker and thrilling.
A woman realises her partner has been sending intimate texts to another woman and, instead of confronting him, she sets out to find out who his other lover is, and punish him for his indiscretion in more devious and crafty ways.
This book really had me gripped and wondering what would happen next. It's been ages since I devoured a book in two sittings, which I did with this, and I'm definitely going to buy her next book in the hope that it's as good. It's obviously not quite Jane Eyre or Wuthering Heights, but for a relatively quick read, you can't go wrong.

Not a great lover of chick lit, this hooked me from the start. It's a world away from the usual stuff aimed at women. You could describe this as a pyschological thriller, I found great difficulty in putting it down and thoroughly recommend it - great holiday book.
