Good reads review- When the honeymoon is over, real life begins...Newly married Debbie is at her wits' end about her and Bryan's mounting debts, but there's no way he's going to stop living the high life and become a stay-at-home husband. Meanwhile, her dad has just found out his workaholic second wife, Aimee, is pregnant. He couldn't be happier, but she's horrified. Is their marriage going to last? Debbie's mum, Connie, has met a gorgeous new man and is all set to make a life of her own. But her family need her more than ever to sort out all their problems. Will she put her family first as always, or can she walk away and finally make a fresh start? Will anyone be happy ever after?
This was the sequel to a book I read in the summer- and it was great to pick up with the same characters again. I think there could even be a third book planned in the series because many of the storylines were left quite open. I'd definately pick the next book up.
I feel like I've found a new favourite author. They are like family sagas- with plenty of reference to everyday things which make it feel like you are reading about friends.
It follows a fractured family. Connie and her husband divorced many years ago- and the book follows his family and teenage daughter- and Connie's daughter who married in the previous book.
I'm not sure what to pick up next- but it will have to be another library book as I put 7 on the reserve list last night! There are a number of chick lit books in my library pile- but the new ones won't be in that category.

I have this one in my library book pile but didn't realise it was a sequel - so have requested the previous one from the library. I like the whole Irish family saga.
Sounds great! I will have to check this author out, I haven't read anything by her yet.
