Wow, this was terrible. I read this because I was on maternity leave, and too exhausted at the beginning to even go upstairs to the bookcase to find something better, and one of my friends gave me this book, so it was sitting in my living room. It was so bad, I can't even. Girl meets boy. Girl has baby. Boy leaves girl. Girl meets another boy. The end. What happened to the baby? Girl neglects baby for the entirety of the book except when convenient to the plot. Let me tell you how angry that made me to read about while trying very hard to be able to ignore my own newborn for 30 seconds so I could brush my teeth. ( )

Another good lightweight tale of love, marriage and marriage break-up. MK speaks to the reader as an integral part of the flow which is amusing and entertaining. ( )

I really enjoyed this book. Had I been Claire however, I would have told the husband to take a run and jump much sooner. The book was full of humour and several times had me laughing out loud.

As this was an audio version there was one slight irritation, the recording had clearly been done for an American market so Nappy became Diaper, and there were several other word changes too.

I will get the other books in this series from the library to read. ( )

Las desgracias se acumulan en la vida de Claire, todo hay que decirlo. Justo el día que da a luz a su primer hijo, la abandona su marido, que ni siquiera tiene la delicadeza de irse con una mujer más delgada que ella. Con una niña recién nacida, unos kilos de más y el cuerpo ensanchado y deforme después del embarazo, Claire se ve obligada a iniciar una nueva vida, demasiado consciente de que no es ni mucho menos una sílfide. Sin embargo, en su extravagante familia irlandesa encontrará un buen paño de lágrimas, y entre la risa y el llanto emprenderá una meteórica recuperación, siendo ella la más sorprendida.

Loved every minute, entertaining and funny! ( )
