L'histoire en elle-même est super sympas à lire, mais la fin est trop rapide!

Review - This is probably my least favourite Sophie Kinsella / Madeleine Wickham book because the story just didn't really seem to have a purpose. There's an accident, then accusations and a resolution, but nothing really happens. Wickham's writing is consistent and funny as per usual, but this novel lacks the oomph that her other books have. The characters all seemed 2D and it's easy to forget them once you finish reading the novel.

Another good book from Madeleine Wickham/Sophie Kinsella. I enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more of the books published under the name of Madeleine Wickham!

Sophie Kinsella / Madeleine Wickham's books are always a good read!

I have now read all of Madeleine Wickham’s book and must say that this is the worst out of them all. The plot seemed incoherent, but there was also an entire subplot that was unrelated to the main story.

It was... Meh. I love Sophie, I love her writing as Madeleine, but this book ranks second last, among the four books of hers that I've read. Better than Sleeping Arrangements.
I love Barnaby, Alexis, Meredith. Hated Cassian. Loved his name but hated him.

Just like the other books of Madeleine Wickham, this was just okay. Having started with the books she has written under her pseudonym Sophie Kinsella, her older books just don't do much. They aren't bad or anything, but at the end of the book I'm always left with the question 'What was the point?'. Just like her books under Sophie Kinsella they are tagged as romance, but they are more like regular fiction and don't have the rom-com feel that the books under her pseudonym have. Also, they very obviously are a product of their time and certain topics just feel old.
I will definitely stick to her books written under her pseudonym in the future. Don't really recommend picking up the books written under Madeleine Wickham.
