What an entertaining and engaging read this was! I am new to Kathleen Whyman and was immediately hooked by her witty and humorous writing style.

It’s a modern story about marriage and family relationships. “For better or worse”, but let’s be honest, how bad can the marital things get before you take off the rose-tinted glasses and do something?

I really enjoyed this book even though parts of this book had elements of undercurrent gaslighting within a relationship that made me feel uncontrolled as if we as readers know what’s going on. Marie is married to Scott and they have daughter Anna. Scott’s ex wife Liz is making their married life so difficult as she is making such unreasonable demands on Scott and uses the kids as blackmail at every opportunity, this is just one of the reasons that Scott kids aren’t able to meet Anna and why Marie can’t have another baby.. . Anna does on a mission to find Liz Clark who’s ruining their lives. Meanwhile; Maries’s client Beth is getting married and her ex husband hasn’t seen their kids in years…. Is Scott really telling the whole truth?

I wanted to love this book. Ot would have parts that were so good and that drew me in but then lulls that made it so hard to keep going. I feel like the plot could have been faster to keep the reader engaged.

Well crafted with layers to the story that struck so many emotions and thoughts about the situation as well as the characters. The story revolves about a wife who wants to bring together her husbands prior family. Her easy flowing style of writing that captivates the readers attention until the last page.

Really interesting read

While overall enjoyable, I found myself very frustrated with the main character because she was just gullible. That made the story sort of annoying, and I figured out all the major plot points very early on, but it was well written and the characters were different enough to be interesting.

My eyes couldn't read this fast enough and I couldn't wait to find out how things were going to end for Marie.

Marie was a great character to follow and watching her navigate her life and all its dramas - juggling working life with being a mum, trying to wrangle her husband Scott and maintain a successful business and be there for her daughter was all so compelling to read.

It felt very realistic and there's elements of her life everyone can relate to at some point and it was related in a sympathetic funny way

It was super easy to keep reading and fall into the chapters till there was none left, Brilliant read and I can't wait for more.

Loved this one! Great and fun read. Highly recommend.
Many thanks to the publisher, Netgalley, and the author for my ARC.

I’ve read every single one of Kathleen Whyman’s books and I will continue to do so and eagerly await every new release! When I saw there was a new one to sink my claws into, I couldn’t wait to get started. And I hungrily devoured the book within two days - whoops!

My eyes couldn't read this fast enough and I couldn’t wait to find out how things were going to end for Marie. I was all there for the drama and I was rooting for her so hard!

She was a great character to follow and watching her navigate her life and all its dramas - juggling working life with being a mum, trying to wrangle her husband Scott and maintain a successful business and be there for her daughter was all so compelling to read.

It was super easy to keep reading and fall into the one more chapter trap, which I well and truly succumbed to! Brilliant read and I can’t wait for more.

A fun lighthearted romping read that had me laughing so hard! Her husband's ex wife won't allow her or their child to meet there half brother and sister. So she goes on a mission of her own to try to find the ex and win her over. The plot is written with such humour that made me love the characters.

Thank you to NetGalley and Embla Books for the ARC

I laughed out loud so many times in this book! It was so stinking fun! I haven't read a book quite like it. It drew me in from the very beginning. Such a great story!
