Summary: a not-so-innocent abroad
Review: While on a business trip to Paris, Londoner Connie begins an exciting affair with John Harding. He's randy, naughty and just thinking his name makes her excited in a sexual way.However, Connie is married to a great guy named Luke, with whom she has spent the last 5 years. But he doesn't get her excited anymore, and she has few-to-no qualms about starting an affair that has her shopping for clothes, working out, and in the throes of love, which many of her friends notice. Connie has a good base of friends, who are all diverse in their views of romantic relationships, so some friends encourage her and others condemn her. In the midst of all this, one couple meets and gets engaged, and Connie can't help but compare it to her own life ... especially when her new boyfriend proves to be a selfish dud. Connie is by no means innocent, which makes this book interesting. It's NOT a series of pratfalls and misunderstandings -- it is very human, and it's too complex so you don't know how it is going to end till you've read it.

Summary: Did I like it? I loved it
Review: You know when you watch a film you absolutely adore: you relate to the characters, you're entertained by the script and the undercurrent of creative energy? So you go back and watch the different scenes again and again? Well this was the first book which I had to leaf through to replay the events once I had read it and wished I could be back in the company of the characters. Grateful for the last two pages which at least gave us some hope and sympathy for Connie- oh give over, that ending was for the reader, not the character. Loved it again and again- and I'm a single,unmarried bloke - perhaps a different market altogether.
