Epistolary book that I really wanted to like, but sadly the emails make no sense. There is no rhyme or reason to the topics and it was boring and unbelievable. Usually I LOVE epistolary books, but not this one!! Had to DNF this book. ( ) Was pleasantly surprised by this. It's a bit Bridget-Jones-like in that the heroine is a 40something, chain-smoking, life completely topsy-turvy, loveable figure. She has a tenuous grip on reality and after discovering her husband in the arms of another woman has to find a way of reaching normality. With a band of equally dysfunctional friends and relatives this book takes us through a year in Coco's life. It's entirely written in e-mail form which I think may be the reason why I liked it - you don't read the replies but you know what they are all saying. Well what can I say about this book that,I must say,I fairly romped through. It made me giggle from the very start, I loved the characters and was rooting for Coco throughout all the disasterous incidents that befell her and her family / friends. The characters were brilliantly written and the way the book was layed out with the story taking shape via emails to her best friend worked very well, and reminded me very much of the Carole Hayman and Lou Wakefield plays 'Ladies of Letters'. I will definatly be reading more of Cocos adventures. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Coco Pinchard always dreamed of being a successful writer, but then life got in the way. She married young, had a son, and put her dreams on hold. But now she's 40, and her first novel is about to be published! Her husband Daniel has greyed nicely into a silver fox, and her son Rosencrantz is all grown up. Shouldn't it be time to enjoy life? That is, until the annual family Christmas when her hideous in-laws come to stay, and Coco opens her gift from Daniel. It's not the jewelry she chose, but an iPhone. This marks the start of Daniel's mid-life crisis and Coco catches him in bed with a younger woman. The iPhone becomes a confessional, and as Coco's life unravels, she documents her seemingly endless (and often entertaining) run of bad luck through emails to loyal friends Christopher, an ageing trustafarian, and Marika, a slightly alcoholic schoolteacher. Then Coco meets the hunky Adam and she's back in the world of dating as a single 40-something. Listen to the heart warming and often hilarious tale of Coco picking up the pieces, in this fun, feel-good romantic comedy. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
