review 1: I know I am not the target market for this kind of book, but I wanted an escapist read in this dreary weather and it looked fun from the bright red cover, illustration and pun on the title. I found it stupid! The writing style was full of over the top "witticisms", metaphors and similes which after a while got tedious. It was all so frenetic with no change of pace. I could not be bothered with Lucy, felt some sympathy with her teenage daughter Talia and admired friend Susie for doing her best. Renee was so obvious the wicked stepmother type. Not for me.
review 2: I had to keep checking the publication date of this train wreck, as it would have been out of date twenty years earlier.An English woman and her husband move to a beachside house in Cronulla whe... morere all Lette's novels are set. He soon leaves to move in with her best friend in an inner city penthouse apartment while he continues to pay rent on the Cronulla house (who is this guy – James Murdoch ?).Slumming it in a house that would conservatively cost upwards of $50k a year to rent, the woman begins a relationship with a lawyer come lifesaver and an unlikely young man. There are also some contretemps with her daughter. The lawyer is a taciturn, weatherbeaten machismo man – you know like lawyers are ! Escaping the rat race of the big city, he retires to his modest $10 million hideaway on the absolute beachfont of the Sydney coast to “get real” and live the simple life. The novel dribbles to its ridiculous conclusion. less
