Product Description

Meet Jack. Dadness - Women have a sixth sense for it. To them, you're like an old bull in a field at the side of the motorway, harmlessly chewing the cud, watching the world race by, nothing like the wild buffalo stock from which you came. And that's how it should be, of course, after seven years of marriage to the woman you love. But, lately, as I've looked around, all I've seen is temptation. From random women in the pub, to my foxy new boss ...they've left me doubting whether I've really been put out to pasture at all...Meet Amy. Motherhood, I've discovered, is the great leveller. I could be a celebrated fashion designer (instead of the finding, cleaning, bum-wiping domestic robot I've become), but having kids automatically makes me the same as all the other mums in 'The Coven' up the park. And being 'the same' makes me want to do something terribly rash - like rediscover the impulsive person I used to be. Don't get me wrong, I love Jack and our son, but everyone else seems to be having so much more fun than me - and so much more sex...The pressure's on. Can they resist "The Seven Year Itch"? Can you? And if one of them cracks? Will it be Amy or Jack? It's time to find out...

'A moving story of childhood friendship and grown-up love ... you won't want to put it down' She

'A pacy tale ... which builds to a satisfying climax ... peppered with entertaining observations about petty family rivalries and how they are inflamed by the claustrophobic and alcohol-fuelled nature of the annual Christmas get-together' Daily Express

'Endearing and addictive' heat

'Beautifully written' Company

'The twin strands of past and present are cleverly intertwined in an effective plot ... the pace never slows - and nor does the atmosphere of surprise and revelation' Daily Mail

Customer Reviews

Not great ...
having read Come again and Come Together I was really looking forward to this book, however Amy and Jack are not entertaining enough to fill a whole book! Don't get me wrong there were some funny moments but overall it was a bit dull and I didn't really care what happened to them by the end of it. Persevere with this if you want but I wouldn't recommend it.

very very cliche
I found this book hugely cliched.
I usually enjoy the books that these authors have written, but I thought this one was a cliche of married life and the mundanities that can go with it.
I hope my marriage never turns out like this.
I was happy with the ending, however.

I have read all the books written by this brilliant couple but especially love the Jack and Amy saga. You can totally relate to this book especially if you were born in the same era and are married with children. I have found myself stopping my husband to read out loud to him as the similarities to our own life are incredible. We have both laughed out loud to many parts of the book. It is fab to hear the male perspectives as I know too well the female versions!! If you have read any books written by these authors then I challenge you to start this one and be capable of putting it down for a second!
