"There were three of us in the marriage." Ellie can't push Princess Diana's infamous words out of her mind, except Ellie isn't dealing with a mistress, but with a matriach, and she can't decide which is worse... The Coopers were everything Ellie had always wanted. A large, loving family, parents Linda and Michael doted on their three children, and when Ellie married Dan, their eldest son, she was thrilled when they welcomed her in and treated her as one of their own. But Linda, who started off as the perfect mother quickly turns into the mother-in-law from hell, and once Dan and Ellie returns from their honeymoon and the Coopers' dysfunctions start to reveal themselves, Ellie wonders whether she's made a terrible mistake. Constant rows with her husband and a simmering fury with her new family, the arrival of baby Tom should ease Ellie's insecurities, but instead sets off a chain of events that threatens everything Ellie has always dreamed of...

Another goody from Green

received from bookmooch - thanks very much, sunlightbub!
Have just started to read it, so I'll be journaling again when it's finished.

a good one from Jane Green, in her usual fashion.

A tale of women and other people, often featuring slightly over the top plotlines. I like her writing, even though I sometimes have to remind myself that this is fiction, and because it's made up it's perfectly reasonable for some very unlikely things to happen!

So you may have guessed that some things happen in this book that I find quite difficult to believe but that doesn't mean it's not great entertainment.

it's been available on Read It Swap It for a while, and now it's been chosen and is on its way to sonia2. Happy reading, Sonia.
