" This was a pleasant read, but it was definitely not very supportive of marriage - lots of broken homes, and most of the "successful" relationships were adulterous, with no one seeming to think anything of it. I enjoyed the format of rotating the point of view among the characters one chapter at a time, and I did like the characters enough to care about what happened to them. I always enjoy British English, so the writing was fun to read. There were too many coincidences for me, and I did get just a bit tired of reading so much about what the characters were wearing and eating. (Being a non-drinker I wouldn't know, but is it common for alcohol to be consumed several times every day?) It was a nice, non-demanding novel, but not great literature. "
