This book is no prizewinner.

The characters are shallow, although that is arguably due to the world of socialites from which they come. But, I loved it.

It was an intriguing study of failing marriage and its effect on children. Ultimately, it is a willthey-or-won't-they love story.

Peter is deliciously enticing in his manly yet sensitive ways.

Youthful and vigorous, not only is he fairy godfather to the children but he begins to provide the support missing for Jamie.

While the family get on with their lives there is fantastic insight into the world of the rich.

Phillip complains he is 'poor' because he only makes so many million a year. Jamie though had a relatively normal upbringing and only married into this set.

She is not comfortable among the socialites, yet is troubled when subtly rejected by them.

At work, she and her anchor are working on the biggest story of their lives after a young Southern woman claims to them that she had an affair with a very right-wing senator.

As Jamie fights to get her story to air and struggles to keep her family happy, there are some parallels with real life, just not enough to be depressing. You'll be kept guessing till the very end.
