review 1: I have to say the premise of this story got me curious and it was on special offer so I decided to pick it up. It took me a while to get into this story. In fact I put it down and left it for months on end. I don't mind the adultery theme because I wanted to believe that the char...

review 1: Jo, je to chick-lit. Jo, zápletka je celkem nerealistická. Ale něco mě nutilo mačkat listovací tlačítko tak rychle, jako už dlouho ne, a být fakt zvědavá: nechá si to? nenechá si to? rozejdou se? zůstanou spolu?, že prostě musím dát čtyři hvězdičky. Takhle přesně by měla být odde...

review 1: De nieuwe nanny is puur chicklit. Het is geschreven in wisselende perspectieven en hierdoor dacht ik, dat dit boek niets voor mij zou zijn. Ik heb daar dus even aan moeten wennen, maar al snel las het erg vlotjes weg. Af en toe is het wat aan de groffe kant, maar dat mag ik zo nu...

review 1: I guess we wish we could escape our lives every now and again. the only question I have is why did it take her so flamin long. I sure as hell wouldn't put up with him for 15 years but then again if she castrated him before she married him, she got what she deserved in some ways...

review 1: Gripping! I started this yesterday and I just had to finish it today. The book has POV chapters for the main characters. And when you get to the end of one with an exciting ending, the next chapter will turn out to be another character and it will go over some stuff thats already...

review 1: I wouldn't say it was the best book, I've read in my life. I just picked it up in charity shop a few days ago, because I needed something to read in the evening and I was looking for something light and easy to read. As it turned out, this wasn't very light to read and really dra...

review 1: A well written book on the tragedies of adultery. Emotional and at times thought provoking on how split second decisions can torture the ones we love. It was very funny in parts as the children get up to their antics before their world is turned upside down and the cracks appear ...

review 1: Kat is in a rut, her husband Ned is next to useless, despite being a free lance journalist he spends more time dossing around the house, forgets anniversaries and in general may as well be a third child in their family. Guy and Agness are the two real children in the relationshi...
