Customer Reviews

A must for 2nd wives.
As a second wife, I read this book and could relate to the characters. I found it funny and enlightening. I personally enjoyed it but as I havent read any of Jane Moore's other books, I didnt have any preconceived idea's of how it should be.

Any second wives should read it and laugh. As I did.

Just awful
Like the first reviewer, I like Jane Moore and think she is funny and clever. This book however is not. I trudged through it dearly hoping it would get better,it didnt. I wish I had gone with my gut and given up on it after chaper 1. It is cliched dull and on a par with a bad Mills and Boon. My advice - don't bother. Sorry Jane

A must poolside read
A must "holiday book". I very rarely get chance to read a book from start to finish. This one however gripped me to the end. A very funny and interesting read!
