About this product

Product Information

'One of the funniest books you will ever read' Daily Mail 'Standard Deviation is a marvel' Kate Atkinson 'Looking for a blissful summer novel? Here it is' Washington Post 'This is the beach book for summer 2017' The Times 'Addictive reading' Mail on Sunday 'A comic masterpiece' Observer A divinely funny novel about the challenges of a good marriage, the delight and heartache of raising children, and the irresistible temptation to wonder about the path not taken. This sensational debut will appeal to fans of David Nicholls, Nick Hornby, Nora Ephron and Lorrie Moore. Graham Cavanaugh's second wife, Audra, is everything his first wife was not. She considers herself privileged to live in the age of the hair towel, talks non-stop through her epidural, labour and delivery, invites the doorman to move in and the eccentric members of their son's Origami Club to Thanksgiving. She is charming and spontaneous and fun but life with her can be exhausting. In the midst of the day-to-day difficulties and delights of marriage and raising a child with Asperger's, his first wife, Elspeth, reenters Graham's life. Former spouses are hard to categorize - are they friends, enemies, old flames, or just people who know you really, really well? Graham starts to wonder: How can anyone love two such different women? Did he make the right choice? Is there a right choice?

  • Boring

    This book was recommended on my local radio, it was described as an hilarious read. I thought it was about time I read something lighthearted and funny so purchased it. I finally gave up with it yesterday 🧐 it’s just an okay book, a bit boring nothing to make me want to go back to it and I didn’t laugh once, I read over 30 pages that’s when I gave up. I literally half smiled at some happenings.
