I was ready for some light laughter with a good chick-lit book to break up the massive amount of serial killer filled crime book and psychological thrillers that were threatening to make me permanently depressed. He'd had a few nasty surprises in the past, like the 103 year-old man who, when Derek asked for the secret of his longevity, shouted, on a live interview, 'Wanking! The woman in the bed inspired different reactions from different readers, like a Rorschach test of reality.

Bocsi, ez az értékelés nem annyira könyvről szólt, de eskü, még szétszedni se volt kedvem a hibáit, és ez azért sok mindent elmond. The character could have been shown in a completely different light that would have provoked a more positive response to the reader and, in turn, the book.And, in a rather more welcome but equally complicated development, Eva meets Alexander, a dreadlocked painter and odd-job man who turned his back on a career as a "wanker banker" after writing off a high-performance car and killing his wife in the process. Also I can't comprehend why some of the male characters, like Alexander and the young policeman, fall madly in love with a stranger in a bed. And from this odd but comforting place she begins to see both the world and herself very, very differently.

The characters are (with one exception) selfish, narcissist, feckless idiots with no regard for anyone else.I appreciate the easy writing style but then it makes the book a very monotous read and yes, it is rather long unnecessarily.

This book was a little strange and whilst I wanted to like it a lot, mainly on the merit of the author, I’m afraid it was quite tedious to read at times.What at first seems like a protest against her years of hard work and limited appreciation quickly becomes far more worrying. As a comedy it failed on every level, and, as a meaningful or poignant tale of modern life, it failed doubly.
