OK Quick Read November 6, 2008
Synopsis from Amazon:
Lisa is forty-two, divorced and a mum of three. For the past year, Lisa has been going out with Mark, who is five years younger than her. Lisa really likes him but she worries that one day he will leave - just like her ex-husband did. On top of everything else, Lisa feels really tired and moody, and has put on weight. She thinks it's the menopause but could there be another reason for how she's feeling? Lisa's life is about to change in a big way but does she want Mark by her side? Does he even want to be there? With the help of her family and friends, Lisa starts to believe that a second chance of love and happiness might just be possible.
This was a fun quick read. I enjoyed this book however I didn't find the menopause story line convincing. Being 42 she should have been more clued up. The problem with the Quick Reads is that they aren't long enough to get in touch with the characters however, I did get emotionally involved with the lead character Lisa, just not the others. It was interesting briefly exploring family dynamics and how people punish others for other people's mistakes. It was nice to see a happy ending and everything resolved. It was an easy read and I read the book in one day. I would love to read this story in a full novel, there is potential here for a great book. A good, quick read!
7/10
Good laugh September 26, 2008
Shame it wasn't longer but a good book for a good laugh for a change
 disapointing September 3, 2008
this is nothing like a normal adele parks novel. insultingly simple the basic storyline is pridicable and uniteresting. I get that some ppl want short easy to read books but this book is far to basic

Wish I hadn't wasted my money, will never buy any of her books again - awful, awful, awful. Worst bit- too babyish should have been for 9 year olds, also terribly predicatable. Only liked one page in whole book. Marian Keyes is so much better, have read lots of short and long stories by her and never disappoint! esp. Further Under the duvet! Her new one also Fab!
 Superb! July 25, 2008
