Journal Entry 1 by AuntieDoris from Yeadon, West Yorkshire United Kingdom on Sunday, September 12, 2010
The Secret Life of Evie Hamilton by Catherine Alliott is good chick-lit. I know some people might think that is an oxymoron but it really is good chick-lit. So often books in that category are predictable and the characters are either nasty or nice but nothing in between.

Evie Hamilton is a privileged middle-class mother of one daughter, married to an Oxford don living a rather charmed and easy life. Things get complicated when her husband finds out that he has another daughter, conceived after a one-night stand when he was engaged to Evie. The book shows Evie spectacularly losing it, but also eventually coming to terms with the situation and the characters are lovely. I feel like they could be people I know. I enjoyed it. A good read!
