It's an easy read and it was interesting to see Claire grow as a character. I feel a little sorry for Adam. Does he know what he's gotten himself in for?

Man, this is bad. Just so bad. 

My first Keyes was ‘Grown Ups’ and that’s infinitely better than this book that made me roll my eyes at the cutesy. 

Sigh.

Delve into the extremely funny and wonderfully touching No. 1 bestseller about a woman who thought she had it all, from the No. 1 bestselling author of Grown Ups 'An astounding writer and chronicler of our times' INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY ___________ 'Failed relationships can be described as so much wasted makeup . . .' On the day she gives birth to her first child, Claire Walsh's husband James tells her he's been having an affair and now's the right time to leave her. Right for who exactly? Exhausted, tearful and a tiny bit furious, Claire can't think of what to do. So she follows the instincts of all self-respecting adults in tricky situations . . . and runs home to Mum and Dad. But while her parents are sympathetic, Claire's younger sisters are less so. Helen wants to share the new toy (baby Kate), while Anna is too busy having out-of-her-head experiences. So when James slips back into her life, desperate to put things right, Claire doesn't know whether to take a chance on a past she feared she'd lost forever or face an uncertain future of her own. But is she as on her own as she really believes? ___________ 'A warm and hilarious page turner' Good Housekeeping 'A modern fairy tale, it's full of Keyes's self-deprecating wit' Sunday Mirror 'Reading a novel by Marian Keyes is like sitting at the kitchen table with your nicest, most confiding friend' Daily Mail 'Gloriously funny' Sunday Times 'Funny but poignant' Marie Claire 'When it comes to writing page-turners that put a smile on your face and make you think, Keyes is in a class of her own' Daily Express
