Review: Can I Give My Husband Back?

Can I Give My Husband Back? Can I Give My Husband Back? by Kristen Bailey
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Let me start by saying I think the blurb for this book is very misleading, I really liked the novel but it is not what I expected from the blurb.

Emma is a pediatric heart surgeon and mother living in a fabulous house in a desirable area of London. Her ex-husband is also a surgeon and a lying, cheating waste of skin. After mourning the death of her marriage (the finale of which is shared via flashback throughout the book), Emma is finally willing to dip a little toe into the dating pool.

This is the second novel about the Callaghan sisters but it is perfectly possible to read it as a standalone novel (as I did).

Emma is in the tricky situation of trying to be the reasonable parent, career woman, caring sister and interesting date. Added to which she is dealing with the baggage of modern families eg interfering parents, dealing with the ex-in-laws, dealing with your ex-husband's new girlfriend, dealing with your sister's relationship issues and, of course an Elsa from Frozen competition.

Loved it!

I received a free copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in return for an honest review.
