Until eleven o`clock that morning in late February, Sam Diamond had considered himself a reasonably happily married man. It was his thirty-ninth birthday and every year since they had met, Laura had sprung a surprise on him. Admittedly these had become less inventive since they`d had children, and he always suspected she might be engaged in one-upmanship with his mother, but nevertheless he counted himself fortunate to be married to a woman who still went to such effort on her husband`s birthday.

As Hannah spoke, Laura wondered whether Hannah knew and was surprised to feel a vague sense of relief. Secrets were a burden. The fear of them unravelling a constant companion. She wondered how Hannah had discovered. Whether it was intuition or a process of elimination, because once you knew thatnit wasn`t Sam who had reduced her to that state of spent langour, then there were a finite number of men and women on the boat trip who could have been responsible.

'Unconventional,' said Dr Lieber drily. 'So who is going to kick off?" Sam and Laura looked at each other. Laura raised an eyebrow.
'It`s complicated,' said Sam.
'It always is,' said Dr Lieber.
And I don't know which modern authors are popular (ok, ok, E L James even I know).
This book was chosen quite randomly - saw it in book fairs cheap price basket, looked at cover and bought it.
Book is about couple (family) and their friends an life after happilly erver after. It is always so simple and predictable in romantic love stories/movies and also in life - to fall in love and to have pink glasses, butterflies in stomach et cetera.
But in real life and in this book you have inconvenient situations and choices, and sometimes indiscretions in circle of friends.
Book is humorous and with unpredictable turns.
I give to this book **** stars.
Enjoy reading!
