Why do I love Coco? Well, how can you not? This woman has to put up with a lot of rubbish! Her husband having an affair, blacklisted in the literacy world, Rosencrantz her son and his crisis well all of this just had me smiling like a crazy loon. I would have loved to receive these emails, especially as 2012 that is how me and my friends kept in touch! I would love to have seen the responses from her friends, family and shopkeeper!
Coco always tries to look on the brighter side of life…or at the bottom of a wine bottle. Her escapades reminded me of some of mine, I did love her turning up on her door step at 1 am hugging her kebab!
I love it when a man tries to get into a woman’s head, especially at crazy points, and sometimes there are the epic fails. That could not be further from the truth in this book! Somehow Mr Bryndza has captured all the emotions perfectly, from the insecurities to the drowning of the sorrows to the highs! It is easy to forget that it is written by a man!
There were times my jaw dropped when Coco sent an email to someone she should not have done, to the treatment of her in-laws and to her ex-husband and his behaviour! So many times I was shouting yes (quietly as not to wake everyone!) when Coco stood up for herself and took charge. Let me just say Daniel, the ex, got his just desserts!
There are no dull moments in this book, the ensemble of emails to friends and people just keep it flowing. I really can not wait to get cracking on the next book to see how Coco is doing!
