Lucy and Owen, who have been married for a long time, decide to try an open marriage for six months and see what happens. The book starts out sort of silly and frivolous, with a seemingly unconnected cast of not particularly likable characters. But then as the story went on, I found myself starting to cheer on Lucy and her relationship on the side. Her husband Owen pretty much leaves her with the lion's share of running the household, doing the chores, and raising their special needs child, all the while ignoring her as a person. Sorry to say this, but good for her for finding someone to pay attention to her and make her feel good! She deserves it, ha! I probably got the wrong message out of this story, but it was a fun and easy read about an unconventional arrangement in a relationship.
