book 54

Getting Rid of Matthew, Jane Fallon
rating:


Eh. Three 'bots, I guess? Jane Fallon is the longtime partner of Ricky Gervais and has done lots of writing for British TV, so I was pretty excited about this one. Really it's British chick lit with a "twist." It's about Helen, whose older, married boyfriend leaves his wife to be with her. Surprise! It's not what she thought it would be and she kind of hates him. So she gets buddy buddy with his estranged wife, pretending to be a woman named Eleanor, and tries to convince her to take him back. Hijinks ensue.
