I read the book between 2002 and 2009. It is set in the UK. Main points of the book: There are 2 Female protagonist. 1 is definitely a lawyer who has had to represent the other female protagonist who I think is a journalist out of a sticky situation. The journalist and her husband live a very flashy life in the city. She wants a baby and they move to a village but once she gives birth, gets bored and leaves the husband to raise the baby. I think they name the baby Theo or Hugo. The lawyer meets a charismatic man at a wedding and sleeps with him. She finds out she is pregnant. Both couples live in the same village. The journalist's husband and the lawyer bond over childcare and start falling for each other. The journalist's husband serves the lawyer pasta where the sauce is baby food. The lawyer also finds out that her husband is gay and that she got pregnant because he washes the condoms after use as he is very environmentally concious. The journalist remarries a hollywood producer. HELP!!!
