half way through , but i feel the moment for this dilemma has been lost following the RL case of the UK mum and her ex and the embryos iyswim? plus it's all become very formulaic - it's the first book of hers i've read that doesn't read like real people, but like 'characters'; all very set up and artificial. Shame.

No, but I have it on my shelf - sill start it tonight and let you know what I think. Not always a big fan although love some of her books so keep reading the new ones as they come out!

After a couple, all her books are pretty formulaic, and increasingly seem to be written with a film script in mind.

I gave up on her after a couple-same reson as BikeRunSki.

yes do swarski - hers are instantly recognisable - all her charachetrs are pretty samey, the situations quite cliche, but i generally like her stuff - def enough to buy / borrow.

think the last two posters are, sadly, possibly correct - there seem to be staged scenes that would look good on screen in this one. Plus, in this one, the instant changes following the split of the two main xters is just weird. Not at all recognisable as rrl.
