Um...  if you have problems

Um...  if you have problems with infidelity... skip this one.  I did not respect or like the hero

Hi Janet!

Yeah - I wasn't fussy about him either - however, he was very hurt and she didn't deny anything.  It was an interesting concept and I liked how she took responsibility for her actions - even when the possibilty was raised that nothing may have happened.  She could have used that to try and patch up her marriage.  I did have a problem with her quick forgiveness of his actions - after being treated that way, I think I would have made him sweat a bit!

I just can't bring myself to buy something that even suggests the idea a baby might be to blame for his/her parents' behaviour, it's visceral and even if you raved about this as being as good as I found The Desert Lord's Baby (for example) I still don't think I could get past my hang ups with the title
