Money changes everything in this darkly comic tale of romantic revenge When shy, insecure Liverpudlian Ellie Freeman unexpectedly wins more than a million pounds in the football betting pools, she sees it as a way to transform the life of her bitter, frustrated, and, above all, distant husband Malcolm. She hides the news of her win from Malc, and uses the money to invest in a firm that will give her husband a better job than the warehouseman position he currently holds. And, indeed, the new job does make Malc a new man--a new man who suddenly envisions a life without Ellie. Can Ellie, too, become a new person? Can she become a stronger, more confident woman who is capable of winning her husband back . . . and is that even what she wants anymore?… (more)

I'm afraid I only made it half way through. The main character, Ellie, who won the pools of 1.5 million pounds then goes onto fulfill her husbands dreams from his youth because she feels has given up. When he grew and changed direction in his life because of it she didn't like it. There was something irritating and whiny about the character, she wasn't happy with her old husband or the one she had created.

I think she deserved everything she got personally, including the pain in the arse neighbour. I was hoping her husband would run off with someone else, but couldn't actually stick the character long enough to find out. ( )
