After The Honeymoon

After the Honeymoon
Synopsis

Two couples, one honeymoon destination, and enough secrets to end both marriages. Perfect for fans of Jill Mansell

How can one honeymoon cause so much trouble?

Much as Emma loves Tom, she would never have got married if he hadn't insisted. But with Tom sick for the whole week, shouldn't she at least take advantage of the entertainment?

Winston married Melissa after a three-month whirlwind romance. As a breakfast TV fitness star, he's anxious to keep things private. But the arrival of Melissa's two children soon puts paid to that.

Rosie arrived at the Villa Rosa homeless and pregnant when she was just seventeen. Now, sixteen years later, she runs the place. However, the appearance of Winston throws her into confusion. He might not remember her, but she has never forgotten him.

By the end of the week, none of their lives will be the same. But how will they cope after the honeymoon is over?

Review

I thoroughly enjoyed this. Thank you Jenny. I loved the premise, two couples on their Honeymoon and the drama that ensues. The characters were great especially Winston.  It's so nice to see a black character in a book! We need more authors like these, who bring diversity into books. Note to future authors - if you want to impress HerbookList- have a bit of diversity in your books. Address issues that matter, no waffle about shopping and boys.

Emma was my least favourite character because she complained about everything, her insistent talk about about her children drove me mad, I skipped some of her chapters for that reason. And Tom, an annoying moron who sleeps for most of their honeymoon needs a slap across the face.Apart from that I thoroughly enjoyed After The Honeymoon. It was funny, charming and touching challenging my perception of marriage and honeymoons.
