On the one hand - it's a simple, shallow and predictable story. On the other side - it is a book written with much passion, pain, and sorrow. However, it is not clear to me as a woman, the heroine's uncontrollable desire for emotionless sex which only hurts her. It is evident to me that it is the heroine's fear of banality and routine, her passion to be desirable again and loved which force her from doing so.

This is not an erotic story nor a masterpiece only a good read if there is nothing better to do. (

At the start of this book, I was expecting pretty standard 'chick lit', but by the end it had became much more, and I was finding it hard to put it down.

Most mums with young children will be able to identify with parts of Sadie's character, and will find themselves nodding, laughing, and possibly even crying. Although I didn't particularly agree with some of her actions, I could at least understand where she was coming from, and what pushed her.

I also enjoyed her relationships with her sisters and friends, which brought us more characters to identify with.

With some unexpected twists, and a believable ending, Lucy Diamond is a fun, sexy author, and I'm looking forward to her next offering.
