I thought this was a really great read. Weirdly, I didn't like the characters at first... well, when I say I didn't like them, what I mean is I found myself getting angry at them for some of the choices they were making, and felt like shouting at them to stop it! I was definitely drawn in to the story, and didn't want to put the book down. Would recommend to people who like Marian Keyes and Jane Green. Nice to find something new and fun in January, rather than just old stuff on sale!

This book is so good, you'll have a hard time putting it down!
Told by the 3 people invovled, the wife, the husband & the mistress's point of view, it is racy, but also very real & makes you see each side of the story...Just Fantastic!!!

What a bonus surprise this book was. It had me laughing within the first few lines and turned out to be funny, serious and gut wrenching all at the same time. The thing that impressed me the most about this book was how real it was. It was a very honest account of committing adultery and having all three perspectives made it all the more rounded. Stimson builds this story very skilfully; it's very funny and 'light' to begin with and you can't help but be led to believe this is going to be a lightweight, scratch the surface type of beach read. However, as fantasy turns to fact so too does the book become more serious and significant in describing the devastating effects of a rather unpalatable situation with searing efficiency.
Having noted other reviewer's comments on their feelings of sympathy or dislike for the characters, I found (quite unsurprisingly) that even though Stimson shows how very vulnerable and precarious the life of a mistress can be, I had no sympathy for Sara whatsoever (lets face it, she deliberately set out to seduce someone else's husband; she's hardly likely to secure the pity vote). For Nicolas I felt only a begrudging sympathy (he did try after all, though failing spectacularly, to remain faithful), and for Mal and the children an awful lot.
It was very saucy in places but it rather needed that for you to 'get' what would have tempted a man who on paper was least likely to have an affair, into the bed (and every other available surface really!) of another woman. As a wife and mum myself, it's a pretty scary read at times and a warning that it really can happen to anyone. Read it, it was superb.

Ok
This is not one of Tess Stimson's best books. It ticks along nicely but not a lot really happens other than the affair. Read more

An easy read
Written from different points of view, the style of writing was conversational. I did think that Nick and Malinche were a bit wet. An easy read.

An awful, awful, awful book
