Things aren't always what they seem to be.  On the surface, both Meghan (Meg) and Agatha (Aggy), seem to have a very good life. Meg is married to a TV personality and is pregnant with their third child. She has a good family, nice friends, and seems to have it all. Aggy is also pregnant and her fiance is in the Royal Navy and will be home soon. Both are excited about their pregnancies and look forward to welcoming the latest addition into their lives. Aggy and Meg meet and strike up a casual acquaintance, which turns into a friendship. They have quite a lot in common. Or do they???

I won't go any farther except to say that the relationship between Meg and Aggy gets unfolded in this book, chapter by chapter, like an onion being peeled layer by layer. We soon learn that each of them has secrets. Secrets that neither one wants to be exposed. The book is written so that each chapter is told from the perspective of Meg and Aggy - a literary device I really appreciate, though it may not be everyone's cup of tea.

This is the first book by this author I have read and I will definitely be reading other books he has written! I found this book to be an easy read and recommend it for those long weekends when you just want to curl up on the couch with a cup of coffee or tea and enjoy a good book!
