i like the concept but felt it lacking in execution and commitment. the family dynamics were interesting so i wished there were more scenes of them as a family. i also liked the characters and their individual struggles because it shows more of their personality, adding to the verisimilitude of the book. however, i found the writing inconsistent and a bit overdone in some scenes, which made me bored. there was no intrigue in the book nor was there a driving force, so it was quite dull at times to read it. i got through this by reading one chapter every night before going to bed because it made me sleepy.

Quite a mid book. Found some parts funny but mostly it didn’t add anything to my life. Was definitely an easy light hearted read though. All the characters were kind of stereotypical which bored me

This is about the impact on a family when Linda and Gerry decide to separate after more than 30 years of marriage. Their children Nicole and James, despite being in their 30s, are derailed by the split. James is about to get married but is wondering if his relationship is already petering out. Nicole is single, works long hours and drinks too much. The book follows them over the next year. It works because the characters are interesting and it's frequently funny.
