I Am Having So Much Fun Here Without You by Courtney Maum
3.0
A French attorney wife, an English artist husband, who met while they were living in America, struggle to rebuild their marriage after the husband's affair.
The cover blurbs often refer to how witty this is, and I think that kinda varies according to taste, like the way some people adore Monty Python and others shrug; I found some parts amusing, but overall, the tone of the novel was sad and desperate to ME, not particularly funny. YYMV.
Not quite contemporary, it's set around the time of the post-9/11 invasion of Iraq by GWB's team and that of Tony Blair. Told entirely from the POV of the husband, Richard, who realizes, when his now-ended affair is over and exposed, that he truly loved - still loves - his wife after all, this chronicles his attempts and thought processes as he tries to repair their marriage. Sometimes Richard is sympathetic and sometimes I wanted to kick him in his self-pitying derriere.
I liked this book, I did not LOVE it, but it is very skillfully written.
