![]() Laurie is thirty six, heartbroken and suddenly single. ![]() Laurie and Jamie are just so wonderfully written that I fell for them. I have devoured every one of her novels and I tried really hard to eek this one out but I failed miserably. Oh Lordy, I loved this book! I’m not exactly shy in my love for Mhairi McFarlane’s writing. When Jamie, a Jilly Cooper-esque cad of colleague (this is actually how he is described (much to my eternal delight)), suggests to Laurie that they embark on a fake relationship to a) make Dan jealous and b) increase his chances of being taken more seriously at work and possibly bag him a promotion to Partner she agrees. That is until Dan tells her that actually he doesn’t want a baby, he doesn’t want a future with her and that she makes him “feel like he is in a tunnel.” It’s over. Laurie and Dan have been together for nearly twenty years, they both work at the same law firm in Manchester and are about to start trying for a baby. ![]()
