Product Description
Andy left Meg when she was eight months pregnant. Saddled with two mortgages and the absolute belief that she will never have sex again (not that she wants it anyway), Meg's first true love moves into the flat downstairs, and Meg remembers why she loved him - and also why he left her.

Funny and whitty,
By A Customer
This review is from: Love and Houses (Paperback)
This book was so much fun. I couldn't stop laughing while reading it on an aeroplane. Marti Leimbach is the only person who could take childbirth and see the funny side of it! A must read for anyone who needs to cheer up!

Excellent.,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Love and Houses: A Novel (Hardcover)
I bought this at a second-hand store. If you find it, grab it. It's one of my favorite divorce books, next to Letter to My Ex-Husband. Meg's funny, smart and falling to pieces. It's warm and funny and full of lines you'll want to read out to other people.

Humorous, Addictive,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Love and Houses: A Novel (Hardcover)
"Love and Houses" is about Margaret "Meg" Howe, a pregnant 37-year-old who has just been abandoned by her husband (Andy Howe) while she's seven months' pregnant with their daughter Frances. Andy's leaving her isn't too startling; he's always had a fear of commitment--leaving Meg several times at the altar; panicking over job promotions before finally quitting to become a bookstore owner.Now Meg has the sole responsibility of remodeling and selling their two homes. To make matters worse, an old flame from Meg's college years reenters her life as a buyer for her house. She struggles between falling for her ex-lover who has done a positive 180 personality-wise or remaining true to her deadbeat husband. Tough decision, huh? I highly recommend "Love and Houses", especially if you're like me and tend to avoid syrupy fiction about marriage disasters. It could have turned into a woe-is-me, depressing book, but it was surprisingly funny and lighthearted. It's well worth finding a copy and owning. You'll definitely want to reread this one. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful:

Amazing Book,
By Redacted - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Love and Houses: A Novel (Hardcover)
I found this randomly in a library about four years ago. I remembered it however and bought it off amazon last week and it's better than I even remembered it to be.
Leimbach's work is a very enjoyable read, but surprisingly truthful. I laughed out loud multiple times while reading this. While it could be described as a "divorce" story, it's more of a "facing (and surviving) the realities of marriage" story. The character of Megan Howe is witty and charming. Overall, Liemback's novel is an endearing read about love...and houses, of course. |
