Summary

Maya wants Nick to be less of a workaholic. Nick wants a divorce. But divorce is expensive. Then an unlikely solution presents itself: Nick needs to act like a better man. Then Maya will become happier, and Nick's payout to her will be far cheaper.

But as Nick pretends to be a better man, he becomes one and remembers why he fell in love with Maya. Everything seems to be back on track. Until Maya finds out exactly what Nick had been planning....

Critic reviews

"This brilliantly written read is original, surprising, funny and clever. I raced to the end, totally engrossed by McLaren’s forensic examination of the demise of this very modern marriage. Wonderful - I loved it." ( Daily Mail)
"A brilliant fresh take on the collapse of a modern marriage. Well-observed, beautifully written but mostly screechingly funny. I laughed, I gasped. Give it to all your friends." (Camilla Long)

Excellent

One of the best books I've listened to. Gutted that it's finished. Would recommend to anyone of any age.
