About the book
Laura and Susan have had a love/hate relationship since their schooldays. Laura presides hopefully over a large, unruly family as she approaches her silver wedding; Susan is exuberantly independent and a most spirited advocate of the single life. At their regular lunches they view each other with a mixture of deep affection and even deeper suspicion. But when the balance suddenly alters, the two friends are surprised to discover something new and potentially wonderful about . . . life after lunch.

Not a great choice for a reading group – we felt it was quite predictable and so didn’t have much to discuss about it. Nothing wrong with the story, just more of a holiday read.

Characters believable , many humorous incidents and conversations. Good discussion about need to have an affair just because marriage appears dull.
