Story
When bored housewife and mother Camilla Stewart impulsively invites her old school friends for dinner, she hardly imagines the evening will shatter her comfortable existence. But Roz Vallender and Loulou Marks are no ordinary guests. Roz is a stunning and self-assured TV presenter, while the reckless Loulou owns Vampires, the trendiest wine bar in town. When they reveal that Camilla's husband, Jack, has been playing around, Camilla determines to make some changes.

Disappointing for a Jill Mansell book.

The storyline was interesting but I was ultimately disappointed in Jill Mansel's writing this time around. I usually enjoy her books as light reads or easy listens but kept rolling my eyes throughout this one. The major annoyance was the repeated mention of Camilla being overweight only to find out she was 150lbs. While probably technically overweight it's not a weight I'd assume worth the characters going on and on about. Next time stick to 'she lost a stone" etc.
Also, I knocked a few stars off for the narration. I've listened to many audiobooks with narrators voicing multiple characters well enough but this was awful. One word kept popping into mind...farcical.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
