Description

Venetia Summers is 'buffered from single-motherhood' by boyfriend David, but when work takes him to the tropics, things begin to unravel. Phone lines crackle, e-mails languish unanswered, while children run amok, brother Desmond's outrageous wedding takes over her home and new neighbour, Hedley Sale, makes his dastardly presence felt. It's no surprise that Venetia ends up dumping David. But how is she to fend off the amorous Hedley, or break the news to the children?

After [b:Hens Dancing: A Novel|357036|Hens Dancing A Novel|Raffaella Barker|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174060244s/357036.jpg|1792366], I wanted to see what further adventures Venetia got into, but it wasn't to be. I was able to stomach Venetia as a directionless single mom freshly post divorce, but two years later, I just couldn't excuse her helpless, whiny uselessness. I wanted to smack her, especially when she was complaining to and about her boyfriend for being gone, gasp, to earn money to support her and her children.
Cute, quick read - chick lit.
forgettable. in fact, i don't even remember reading it.
