"Incisive and very very funny" - Company Magazine

For Better. For Worse

Lucy stole her friend Rose’s ‘happily ever after’ because she wanted Rose’s husband and Lucy always gets what she wants. Big mistake. Rose was the ideal wife and is the ideal mother; Lucy was the perfect mistress.

As Peter’s interest diminishes and Lucy’s domestic responsibilities increase, Lucy wonders if the ‘happily ever after’ is all a big con. Without a maternal bone in her body she’s always playing catch-up in a game where she doesn’t know the rules and can’t understand what there is to win anyway.

Rose doesn’t have the vocabulary to describe Lucy, she doesn’t like using expletives. A devoted single mum, she fills her life with labeling school uniforms, organic vegetables and car runs for extracurricular activities. She’s an exemplary mother but the boys seem to need her less and less and without them she wonders what she amounts to. Her friends are concerned that her life is devoid of passion, romance or even plans for the future.

They both envy Connie, who is happily married and is effortlessly balancing two kids with a fulfilling career until, that is, a dangerous old flame flickers back into view at the school gates and threatens her marriage.

All three of these women need more than blind belief to negotiate their way through modern life. Things can only get better…or worse. Or better?

The Sleepy Reader

A great story of changing lives and new discoveries

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 28 April 2020

Verified Purchase

Here we re-join the lives of Connie and her friends, Rose, Lucy and Daisy following on from their stories in Playing Away, set before Lie, Lies, Lies.

Rose is quite happy with her role as a full time and very devoted mother to her twin boys when her best friend Connie and sister Daisy admit that they need to push her to want more. Uncomfortable at first Rose finds herself taking new and eventually exciting adventures.

Lucy is married to Peter, Rose’s ex-husband and living the dream life or so it seems but it’s not enough for Lucy. Constantly panicked that her husband will find a new model and exhausted by her demanding daughter, life is not what Lucy expected and she throws herself into her career that she loves until one-night changes everything.

Connie’s eye is turned again by a blast from the past but what will she do?

I really enjoyed reading more about the lives of these four friends, Daisy is quite overlooked again after her romance in the last book but I’m sure her time will come. A light-hearted read that explores these different lives and above all for me the compassion and discovery of Rose through her new adventures and working on her thoughts and feelings after her split from her ex-husband years before. Great to see a character grow and provides some food for thought on your own life and perspectives.

I love love love this book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 22 December 2022

I love love love this book. I haven't quite finished but nearly there. I actually read the last book in the series, Lies Lies Lies first and enjoyed it so much that I read the first Playing Away and then have moved onto this one. If you can, I recommend reading them in order although it doesn't matter its been great reading about their lives at different phases. The story is written from the different viewpoints of 3 different characters which allows you to get into their heads and minds and understand where they are all coming from. Its light reading and very funny and relateble, a great read and I'm an Adele Parks fan now.

Easy to read and thought provoking

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 10 October 2020

Verified Purchase

Just finished this and although I'd read 'Lies lies lies' first it didn't seem to matter as my head worked out who was who and what the characters represented.
Nicely written and for a male it gave me an insight to relationships from a female perspective. I found myself imagining it as a screenplay written in the style of 'Bridget Jones diary' or 'Love actually'
Easy to read and thought provoking, looking forward to reading the 1st book in the series 'Playing away.

It was a bit rambling and I skipped through a lot as you knew how it would all pan out. Lighthearted and easy to read and everything turned out ok. Quite sweet. Prefer something more intriguing and unable to work out the ending so easily.

Easy read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 18 August 2020

Verified Purchase

The story is told from three perspectives of people trying to understand where they are in life and what they truly want.
It's well written but uses some American terms such as faucet instead of tap which I really couldn't understand.
