I absolutely adored this book. When Diane‘s husband leaves her for a younger woman, she feels her life has fallen apart. This is a book of loss and acceptance, with so much pathos and humour.

The story of an ordinary woman, whose life is pulled apart, told with an abundance of humour and heart. Diane is lovely, far stronger than she thinks and anything but boring. A quick, enjoyable read.
Longlisted for #CanadaReads 2021, I think it's a really good book, but not right for the competition. The Canada Reads selection is meant to be one that every Canadian should read and discuss and this is not that. But it is still worthy of a read.
I admit, for a “boring†story I found this hard to put down. Up until I got to the end and finished the book, I thought it was autobiographical. Now, realizing that it‘s actually fiction, I think that‘s a compliment because it felt so realistic. There‘s nothing earth-shattering here, but if you‘ve ever been through a divorce, then you are sure to find something here to relate to. Thanks, Hoopla! 4âï¸
Started this one this morning!
I wish it were either slightly darker or more absurd. A solid commute read.
Recovering from surgery stinks. I keep having to fend off Ozzie and Gatsby who just want me to feel better already and maybe if they lay across the incisions that‘d help. 😜 So I‘ve chosen to set down the book that I should be reading but isn‘t diverting my attention and pick up this one that is billed as “wildly entertaining.†Hope they mean it!
