My thoughts…

I’ve never read a book by Fiona Gibson – and after struggling through this one I’m not sure that I will try another. There was nothing out of the ordinary within this book – nothing different – no big revelations – it was all somewhat predictable. A book about a woman whose husband has left her and she thinks that life is over…is quite an overdone concept. So when reading about it I want there to be something else that sets it apart from those that have gone down that road before. Sadly, it was lacking in this book.

About the book…

Between tending to the whims of her seven-year-old and the demands of her boss, Viv barely gets a moment to herself. It’s not quite the life she wanted, but she hasn’t run screaming for the hills yet.

But then Viv’s husband Andy makes his mid-life crisis her problem. He’s having an affair with his (infuriatingly age-appropriate) colleague, a woman who – unlike Viv – doesn’t put on weight when she so much as glances at a cream cake.

Viv suddenly finds herself single, with zero desire to mingle. Should she be mourning the end of life as she knows it, or could this be the perfect chance to put herself first?
