The title drew me in and I was not disappointed. It's a hilarious, emotional roller coaster. I don't usually look for humorous novel's but after this one I think I'd better start.

I found this silly and annoying. I struggled through it all.

Wasn’t keen on the style of writing and had too many one-line jokes for my liking

Absolutely hilarious. It drew me in, and I found myself surprisingly attached to the characters and emotionally invested in their lives. Recommend for any one who needs a good laugh.

I always saw this book sitting in my school library, never thought to pick it up and read it until I saw a drama student perform a monologue based off it.
I picked it up, read it and fell in love with it straight away.
Such a good read, very tongue in cheek.
Kathy Lette is a fantastic author and this book is gush-worthy xD

Very short summary: Jazz’s (a rich stay at home mum) husband dies, of unnatural causes, while on holiday in Australia. Jazz gets suspected by the police almost immediately. Her two best friends , Cassie (a not so rich, teacher and mum) and Hannah (a childless artist), are trying to get her out, by proving it wasn’t Jazz who caused her husband’s death. What follows is a hilarious take on events. The book is written for ladies that are a little older than me, but it’s hilarious nonetheless. Personally I really, really despise reading/hearing/seeing anything with sex in it. Just freaks me out, but this book is so funny, I bravely kept reading it. I’ve read this book three times. At least. Like I said, the book is a light read, a really great holiday book, and I fully recommend you reading this book, if murdering your partner is something that gets on your mind occasionally.
