Review
'Zoe Barnes writes wonderfully escapist novels, firmly based in reality.' (Express) 'An enjoyable and moving read.' (Daily Mail) 'A great book for anyone who likes their romance laced with a healthy dose of real life.' (Observer) 'Another great read from the best-selling author of Bumps, Hitched and Hot Property' (Womans Own)
Product Description
Eight years ago, when Hannah was a struggling single mum, Nick Steadman seemed like Mr Right and Prince Charming rolled into one. Kind, strong, reliable - and the perfect step-dad to Lottie - what did it matter if his taste in trousers was more M&S than D&G? OK, so their relationship's never been based on passion, but it has plenty of respect, friendship and trust. Trouble is, after eight years together they're beginning to realise that friendship isn't enough. The solution? An amicable divorce. Which would be just fine if it wasn't so hard to explain to nine-year-old Lottie. And if Hannah didn't find herself a teeny bit annoyed at Nick's ability to move on so quickly. Not that she isn't happy for him and his new lover. Of course she is. After all, they agreed they'd be mature, grown-up and rational about their separation. They may be divorced but they can still be friends. Can't they?

Format:Paperback
Again, Zoe Barnes writes with wit and flair to create another of her fab novels. The eponymous 'Split Ends' is the name of the salon, which the main character, Hannah, runs in partnership with her best friend Maxine and provides the centre of most of the book's action.
The main plot involves Hannah's relationship with her 9 year old daughter Lottie, and her husband, the sensible science teacher, Nick, who's not Lottie's biological father. Hannah, who's in her early 30s, believes that there's more to life than the day-to-day boredom of her marriage and seeks to find it.
There's some great characterisation along the way and special mention must be for Hannah's Grandfather, ex con, Herbie Flowers. Overall, a compelling read and a fantastic example of chick lit escapism.

Zoe Ball never fails to appeal, especially with this novel, which captures perfectly, her "off-beat" chick-lit. I ALWAYS read and re-read all of her novels, and am amazed at how any novels she can write, with on-going and appeal and a "must read" quality!!
