Jackie Ball knows that happiness is hard to find, so when Dan Lewis jogs into her life with his skin-tight shorts and sexy smile things start to look up. One night he presents Jackie with a diamond ring and suggests he trade in his BMW for a people carrier. But there's a fly in the ointment - her first husband Henry. As far as Jackie's concerned, their marriage is well and truly over, so she engages the services of a solicitor and sets about moving on.
But Henry has some old scores to settle and the divorce papers hitting the dog-haired mat are just the excuse he needs. It's not that he still loves her, but Jackie walked out on him without even leaving a note and now he wants to know why...Praise for Clare Dowling: 'Sparkling and witty...a great beach read * Irish Tatler *
Commercial fiction at its most entertaining * Marian Keyes, nominating EXPECTING EMILY as one of her favourite books of 2001 *
Very warm, very funny...witty and refreshingly honest * Irish World *
What sets this apart is the quality of the writing. It is great fun, a great read * RTE *
Dowling has an adept touch for light and warm-hearted women's fiction. She has a likeable tone and warm, funny characters and is similar in style to Marian Keyes... wonderfully entertaining * Sunday Tribune *
