Amy is stunned when her husband Hugh tells her he is taking a six-month break ... from her. He announces he will travel to South East Asia and return in six months. In addition, he may sleep with other women while he's there because it will be a break in every sense of the word. He promises he will return, but Amy has her doubts.

Of course, what it takes a while for her to realise is that if Hugh is on a break from her, then she is on a break from him. Slowly, she becomes used to living without him and taking care of their girls on her own. Her job as a publicist leads her to the hotel room of the sexy Josh Rowan ... But where will it lead?

Fans of intelligent romantic novels. People who love to laugh and cry as they read their way through books. People who love good stories.

Marian Keyes's writing. I love how she weaves into the book the abortion storyline, highlighting how it was still illegal in Ireland. I know this is a cause she campaigned heavily for, so I loved how she included a tiny bit about it.

Happy. I loved the ending. I loved Marian's storytelling ability. I felt warm and content at the end.

Marian Keyes. Superstar (in my opinion). Her writing is filled with warmth and comedy and sadness. She is someone who understands people. She really understands how we tick. She is my favourite writer. I read something the other day that said she writes "intelligent chick-lit" and that's a perfect description.

It's fabulous! Marian Keyes, come on. She is supremely talented, and this book is so funny.
