Product Description

Review

"A refreshing take on thirty-something angst." EVE magazine, May 05 "An upbeat, must-read tale for anyone who has been through the pain of a failed relationship. It delivers insight and humour through richly portrayed characters who present a broad spectrum of opinion on the whys and wherefores of love and marriage - from a man's and a woman's point of view. Poignant from the start, this easy read isn't always a light read." EASY LIVING, May 05 "A slick, bittersweet comedy." YOU magazine, MAIL ON SUNDAY, 10 April "Fresh, feisty and fun." COMPANY, May "An enjoyable, bittersweet read. Four stars" HEAT, 30 April "Filled with some great awe-inspiring characters, The Starter Marriage will absorb you into the depths of its pages until the bittersweet end." REAL, 29 April "A bittersweet and often funny read, with believable characters -- you won't want to put it down." THE SUNDAY POST, 3 April "This amusing tale of relationships immediately hooks you in, and will have you turning the pages well into the night with revelation after revelation keeping you on the edge of your seat... with tons of likable characters and an entertaining, easy-to-read style with the perfect blend of quirky comedy." www.thisisbristol.co.uk

5.0 out of 5 stars Wry and honest observations - a great read!, 29 April 2005
By A Customer
This book is beautifully written. However, what really did it for me was that the heroine is someone I could really identify with. There are so many witty and honest observations about the way things are, and the pain of a broken heart. I really enjoyed her last book, "Old School Ties", but I think, if anything, that this one is even better. Highly recommended, whether you're broken hearted or not!

4.0 out of 5 stars No bitterness here!, 12 Jun 2006
This review is from: The Starter Marriage (Paperback)
Although you'd expect a book about divorce to be at least somewhat bitter and angry, there's none of that in this book. Though it was sad on occasion, this story is primarily optimistic and heart-warming.
If you're relationship is falling apart, if you're divorced or thinking about divorce, this is a must-read, but I'd recommend it as a fun read for just about anyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great read - unputdownable!, 4 Jul 2005
By A Customer
i loved this book - right from the outset, it's funny, moving and totally engaging with a cast of perceptively drawn and vivid characters, all with their role to play in the life of tess, the heroine of the piece. anyone who has ever been in a relationship - so basically everyone - will find this book strikes chords, and the interweaving stories kept me engaged to the very last page. highly recommended
