Dulcie is impulsive and she thinks it's dull to be married to Patric. She loves him but he's boring so she decides she wants a divorce to find some excitement in her life.
Pru is also married but to a man who can't keep his hands off other women. She is determined to keep her marriage intact as she can't imagine a life without him.
And just as my annual New Year's resolution is to get fit and attend the gym 4 times a week, things don't exactly go to plan. There are circumstances no one can foresee and you'll just have to deal with things as they come. "Mixed Doubles" is funny as is most of Jill Mansell's books. I just find it interesting that she always manages to get the "different point of views" into the same book. Here we have 1. the one who wants to marry but is unable to find someone that interests her for more than a month, 2. The one who is married but wants to get out despite thefact that her husband is lovely, and 3. the other one who's married to a prize-winning jerk but doesn't want to live without him.... It sort of enables more readers to recognize themselves or...? Anyway, it's another Mansell book and it delivers what it promises.
The 'negative' thing is that the cute dog on the front cover is clearly just on the cover. There's no cute puppy in the story line...
