Ginny Splinter, acclaimed radio host and relationship expert, prides herself on knowing what’s best for others.

But when Ginny presents the gift, he surprises her with his own very different plan: a divorce.

I'm afraid this was my least favourite Phaedra Patrick. I did finish it but it was a bit of a slog. I found it boring and predictable and not such a feel good story as her others.
