"This is one book I didn't want to come to an end as the central character's journey is so compelling. I don't very often keep books once I've read them but this is one I will definitely reread. "

    " I can't believe I even finished it. There is no one to like or even sympathize with in this book. It gives new meaning to the phrase, "With friends like these who needs enemies." "

    " This follow-up book to Revenge of the Middle-Aged Woman is not quite as good as the original, but I still enjoyed reading about middle-aged women who were trying to put their past behind them to start a completely new life. "

    " This is a good summer read. It is light hearted and just serious enough to not feel like you are reading a trashy romance. I finished it in 3 days. "

    " i can't relate to it because i'm only 15 years old...so i don't like it that much.. "

  • Overall Performance: 2 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 5

    " I've given up on this book, about a quarter of the way in. I find the characters hard to empathise with or even care about, they are all so unlikeable! I rarely give up on a book, so I may return to it at some point. "

    " It's a very slow book that you have to keep pushing yourself to finish. Was it worth it? Marginally. She has definitely written better books. "

    " I liked the book about Rose better. Minty comes off as self-centered, spoiled and not likeable. I thought the ending implausible, but then I'm not in this situation. "

    " A sequel to Revenge of the Middle-Aged Woman, a quick and airy read about the second wife syndrome and how it comes to affect the woman who had the affiar in the first book. "

    " Again, the limited audio book selections at my library led me to read something I normally would not. This is not the worst chick lit I've read. I can't decide whether it's amusing to expose characters' flaws so vividly, sort of like Seinfeld, wives behaving badly indeed. "

    " I normally like Elizabeth Buchan's writing but this book was shallow and not v satisfying - it could have done so much more about how the mistress became the second wife and then a widow. Luckily didn't take v long to read... and it's a library book too. Two pluses. "

    " Buchan constantly amazes me. Her storylines are so lacking it can almost send you to sleep, but the characters are vividly real with all their little quirks and warty personalities. No one does a realistic character better than Buchan, I just wish she could give me a plotline with them. "
