This book is superb, this was the second book from this author that I read after 'Husband's Secret' and boy I was so elated. This is quite different from the other, its quite funny and leaves you smiling, there were moments when I could actually see Alice in all that confused state. The children in the book are so engaging . All the characters are interesting and I think Moriarty does a real good job when it comes to write about parenting . A must read I should say.
