  <default_description>Lizzie Buckley has a life many women dream of - a gorgeous husband, a beautiful home and darling (when they're not fighting) three-year-old twins. But ever since the birth of her children, she's had a fantasy about locking herself in her bedroom for twenty-four hours with a good book and a box of chocolates.

Unfortunately, her husband James doesn't understand her feelings. And when Lizzie unburdens herself in a flaming email to her sister Janie, then hits send at the wrong moment and accidentally shoots it off to James instead, her fairytale life gets a big dose of reality. With the word &quot;divorce&quot; ringing in her ears, Lizzie finds herself moving out and embarking on a totally different life - working hard to reinvent herself as a runner, a gardener, and a writer of children's books.

But despite transforming her body, her neglected career, and her libido (courtesy of the local landscape gardener), Lizzie can't get over her soon-to-be ex. As Lizzie discovers, sometimes the fairytale ending is just the beginning of the real story.</default_description>

There are some serious moments in this book, about marriage, divorce, love, depression, weight loss (and gain) and child-rearing and yet, I would say that it was a funny novel because of the voice. ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[<br/>I loved the premise of this novel—one day a very tired and cranky Lizzie fires off an email intended for her sister Janie but it goes instead to her husband James. He thinks she wants out of the marriage and so decides to divorce her. We’ve all had those “do over” moments, when if we c...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/44349841">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[The most interesting part of this novel is the premise: that a woman writes an email to her sister saying she'd rather sort out the sock drawer than have sex, and accidentally sends it to her husband, who then leaves her, so she has to adjust to single life. Although the book wasn't hard to read, I ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/64422671">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I thoroughly enjoyed this book! It was a bit slow starting out, but steadily gathered steam and kept me whizzing through the pages to the very satisfying finish.<br/>It piqued my interest initially by being about issues that I remember facing on a daily basis and sometimes still do!

    <body><![CDATA[I also bought this in London and didn't stop reading on the plane or once I was off.  It's defiantely a page turner, and the central charachter is so likeable, that I felt bereft when the story came to an end.  The book is funny, endearing, beautifully written and lots of fun, and I definately recom...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/34423639">more...</a>]]></body>

I then read some reviews of it and saw some thought it was funny. I did not think this book was funny at all. I actually thought it was a bit depressing.I als...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/43048078">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This was an interesting story.  I agree with others who have review this book and said it's similar to  <em>Bridget Joneses Diary</em> but with a failing marriage and children.  I was a little disappointed in the marriage / relationship between James and Lizzie.  It just seemed so sad and shallow because it ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/38483973">more...</a>]]></body>
