Oh my life, this is the most excellent book. I absolutely loved it. It is the second Sophie Kinsella book I have read and love the first person narration. Anyone who has an overactive imagination or over suspicious mind will be thrilled by this book.
Long term relationships have their ups and downs and Sophie's humour takes on trying to revitalise the marriage of Sylvie and Dan, which is utterly brilliant. However, true to life there are shocks and revelations too. Pressures of family life, work and holding secrets takes its toll but Sylvie's overactive mind leads her to a drive force that changes how she looks, feels, thinks and loves.
This charming tale melts away dark corners and sheds light on truth, friendship and love. All the relationships are believable and you feel as though you are spying on Sylvie's life, watching and waiting for a good outcome.
I NEVER turn to the ending pages of a book to see how it turns out but I was so in Sylvie and Dan's corner that I just had to know whether what I was reading and feeling was truth. I related so much to Sylvie - her thought patterns and believable senarios; her perceived quirkiness of her husband Dan and having to knock her father off the pedestal she had had him on. It made me think again about 'reactions' and 'actions'; how LIFE NOW is all that matters and no matter how much time anyone has to live the most should be made of it.
A delightful, easy, believable read that grips, churns and hooks you. Tantalising, honest and wholesome. Well done Sophie Kinsella *****
