review 1: I will admit before continuing that I haven't actually finished this book. Within the first couple of chapters I had concluded that the writer considers women to be inept at holding down a professional career and any success they had could only be attributed to their own stupidity (in a scene and story line completely ripped off from Bridget Jones) To say that the writer dismisses the possibility of any woman having a professional career is a touch too far. If you have no children you can, but then you would obviously be a thoughtless, nasty, talentless bitch. I'm not sure that the premise, that any working woman is a child abuser and any stay at home dad is a saint, could have been rammed down my throat any further. The writer then goes on to portray our heroine as a comp... morelete idiot who can not understand basic household finances. Luckily her husband deals with all of that so she never has to worry her pretty little female head about it. But never fear. Our female lead can bake cakes! So all is well, and completely non stereotypical nor gender biased. As I said I didn't finish (or even get to the middle of) this book, but I guessed the ending (which is quite impressive seeing as I'm a dumb girl, with no children who can't, nor has the desire to, bake.) I am amazed that drivvle like this gets published and devastated that it gets such high reviews. The author should be ashamed.
review 2: I started reading this book with high hopes. The start made me laugh with the antics of Rochdale but quickly turned a little soap opera for me. I like an easy read without too much drama but this story had more substance than that. Following Stella through her trails and tribulations was worth it and the full story unfolded showing that a grey dreary life can become Technicolor again when circumstance forces Stella outside her comfort zone. I loved the characters in this book apart from two who needed slapping with a wet fish. Good read, I'll look out for more by Sue Watson in the future. less
