"A deliciously smart comedy about a famously widowed young New Yorker hell-bent on recapturing a kind of passionate love she never really had. Claire Byrne is a quirky and glamorous 34-year-old Manhattanite and the wife of a famous, slightly older man. Her husband, Charlie, is a renowned sexologist and writer. Equal parts Alfred Kinsey and Warren Beatty, Charlie is pompous yet charming, supportive yet unfaithful; he's a firm believer that sex and love can't coexist for long, and he does little to hide his affairs. Claire's life with Charlie is an always interesting if not deeply devoted one, until Charlie is struck dead one day on the sidewalk by a falling sculpture... a Giacometti, no less! Once a promising young writer, Claire had buried her ambitions to make room for Charlie's. After his death, she must reinvent herself. Over the course of a year, she sees a shrink (or two), visits an oracle, hires a "botanomanist," enjoys an erotic interlude (or ten), eats too little, drinks too much, dates a hockey player, dates a billionaire, dates an actor (not any actor either, but the handsome movie star every woman in the world fantasizes about dating). As she grieves for Charlie and searches for herself, she comes to realize that she has an opportunity to find something bigger than she had before--maybe even, possibly, love. "--… (plus d'informations)

I was really disappointed in this book. It begins with her husband getting killed and her floundering around trying to figure out widowhood. The problem is, nothing ever really happens in the book. She goes from counselor to counselor and then ends up in a pointless relationship. At the end of the book it feels like they just had to wrap it up so all of a sudden she is happy and in a good relationship. Very disappointing book! ( )

I think Carole Radziwill's real talent lies in non-fiction. This was an entertaining read, which is, I realize, damning with faint praise. I'd hoped for more. ( )

Entertaining in that vapid "Sex in the City" way. ( )

Enjoyable easy read. ( )

Quick read in the category of "beach read". Nothing in this book stands out, plot is predictable, characters one-dimensional, ending disappointing. ( )
