  <description><![CDATA[In a moment of madness, Ali Kingston, wife and mother of three, skips work to spend the day with Christian, a gorgeous street artist fifteen years her junior. Midlife crisis or whatever, it escalates when Ali’s husband, Ed, equates her minor indiscretion with a major affair and kicks her out into the rainy night. . . and Christian’s open arms. Soon thirty-eight-year-old Ali is ensconced in a Notting Hill love nest wondering how to introduce her children to the charismatic Christian, who could easily have been her teenage daughter’s boyfriend rather than her own.    <p>Meanwhile back at the ranch house in suburban Richmond, Ed is also facing unanticipated temptations, as two younger women compete to console him for the loss of his wife, while family and friends attempt to reunite him with Ali. . . with deliciously droll results. Then a disconcerting event forces both Ed and Ali to decide what they really want -- from themselves, from each other and from life itself.    <p>From the <em>USA TODAY </em>bestselling author of the &quot;Reading with Ripa&quot; Book Club pick <em>For Better, For Worse</em> comes a provocative tale of midlife temptation, told with incomparable warmth, wit and wisdom by one of Britain’s brightest romantic comediennes.</p></p>]]></description>

    <body><![CDATA[Pretty well written and shows how mid-life can hit you when you least expect it.  I think it is a book that might give reason for thought about some decisions we make without thinking about the long term effects (relationship choices).

    <![CDATA[In a moment of madness, Ali Kingston, wife and mother of three, skips work to spend the day with Christian, a gorgeous street artist fifteen years her junior. Midlife crisis or whatever, it escalates when Ali’s husband, Ed, equates her minor indiscretion with a major affair and kicks her out into the rainy night. . . and Christian’s open arms. Soon thirty-eight-year-old Ali is ensconced in a Notting Hill love nest wondering how to introduce her children to the charismatic Christian, who could easily have been her teenage daughter’s boyfriend rather than her own.    <p>Meanwhile back at the ranch house in suburban Richmond, Ed is also facing unanticipated temptations, as two younger women compete to console him for the loss of his wife, while family and friends attempt to reunite him with Ali. . . with deliciously droll results. Then a disconcerting event forces both Ed and Ali to decide what they really want -- from themselves, from each other and from life itself.    <p>From the <em>USA TODAY </em>bestselling author of the &quot;Reading with Ripa&quot; Book Club pick <em>For Better, For Worse</em> comes a provocative tale of midlife temptation, told with incomparable warmth, wit and wisdom by one of Britain’s brightest romantic comediennes.</p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[In a moment of madness, Ali Kingston, wife and mother of three, skips work to spend the day with Christian, a gorgeous street artist fifteen years her junior. Midlife crisis or whatever, it escalates when Ali’s husband, Ed, equates her minor indiscretion with a major affair and kicks her out into the rainy night. . . and Christian’s open arms. Soon thirty-eight-year-old Ali is ensconced in a Notting Hill love nest wondering how to introduce her children to the charismatic Christian, who could easily have been her teenage daughter’s boyfriend rather than her own.    <p>Meanwhile back at the ranch house in suburban Richmond, Ed is also facing unanticipated temptations, as two younger women compete to console him for the loss of his wife, while family and friends attempt to reunite him with Ali. . . with deliciously droll results. Then a disconcerting event forces both Ed and Ali to decide what they really want -- from themselves, from each other and from life itself.    <p>From the <em>USA TODAY </em>bestselling author of the &quot;Reading with Ripa&quot; Book Club pick <em>For Better, For Worse</em> comes a provocative tale of midlife temptation, told with incomparable warmth, wit and wisdom by one of Britain’s brightest romantic comediennes.</p></p>]]>
