Agree with wsm and mummysurfer, felt obliged to like it as had won a copy (thanks MN) but actually found it tedious and irritating. Also agree about the strange lack of emotion (or humour); she doesn't have any feeling for anyone, including her baby, and neither do the other characters. None of them are convincing or well-drawn. Maybe it's because I don't usually read Jane Green, etc. but the 'chick lit' (hate that phrase) that I have come across has been amusing. This book isn't.
