review 1: Not sure how I felt about this book - I probably won't remember it after a while, but I did enjoy it. Not a very likable heroine. Good way with words ("I am his strange bed" keeps echoing in my head - love it!). Author did a great job keeping her ending under wraps; I really had no idea where she was going or who she would end up with, if anyone. Celine was wishy-washy and it seemed like she had too many epiphanies for me (she loves Patrick, no wait - maybe she loved Mike all along, no wait - she just wants to be alone). The dad was a great character, very funny, very lovable. Mike was another good character, and he was too good for Celine. A good, summer read, and it's fun to read a girly book with a British accent once in a while.
review 2: A bittersweet, pun... moregent account of a marriage gone awry, the struggles of the characters to make a new context for their lives, and how to frame a future when an old love arrives to complicate matters. The wounds and pain are everywhere and draw the reader into the hopes and disappointments, the hours of joy and the days of loss. Just a fabulous book that will engage the imagination and which refuses to leave the emotions unscathed. less
