There's every emotion going in this book!

The story follows Amy, who's family is extremely complex. She hasn't had it easy, but she's content with how things are. Her first marriage broke down when she came home to find her husband cheating and he walked out on her, leaving her a young single mum. It took her a long time to build up the strength to find it in herself to trust another man. Hugh, her second husband, was that man.

Suddenly, Amy's life gets flipped upside down when Hugh announces he is taking a break from the family for 6 months where he can do what he likes as he travels the globe. Anything goes. But he will be back, he promises.

Amy is left devastated. Is history repeating itself? Even if Hugh does come back, will their relationship be the same? Will everything be able to go back to how it was?

Join Amy in this one heck of a roller coaster ride to find out.

I've always loved Marian Keyes and this book is in the same style, chick lit with depth and proper snorting into your book moments.

A wee romp through a few intertwined stories of love and fidelity over the course of lots of different relationships and friendships
I also now know more about what PR is, and how shockingly difficult it was to get an abortion in Ireland until far too recently.
