Out of the Blue

This was an excellent book from beginning to end - there were times I couldn't put it down because I wanted to know how the relationships would progress! It was a little slow at times, but it does help you get to know the characters on a more personal level. A witty, good book! I would recommend it to anyone who likes some quality chick lit.

Loved it...

Just read it! I read it in 2 days. Made me laugh and cry. I love a book that makes me feel. Thanks Isabel for writing it!!!!

Another great one from Isabel Wolff!

Fan of Isabel Wolff? Then get ready to read another great one from the author of The Trials of Tiffany Trott and Making Minty Malone!Faith Martin, AM-UK!'s weather girl, is having a thunderous time. Her husband might be having an affair, and it is up to her to get to the bottom of things. As her suspicions mound and things begin to take some unexpected turns, Faith has opened up to some interesting possibilities...Out of the Blue is filled with Wolff's signature poignancy and humor. The emotions that the protagonist goes through are quite realistic. I love the characters, especially Lily, Sophie and Peter. Wolff has outdone herself with this new gem. Red Dress Ink made a wise decision in signing up this talented author. I look forward to reading more of her work.

deep character study

Faith and Peter Martin celebrate their fifteenth wedding anniversary, which he completely forgot about, with friends and family including their two teenage children. Peter apologizes to his wife blaming it on the pressure at work caused by new a new chairwoman at the publishing firm where he works as a director. At the party, Faith's friend Lily makes a seemingly innocuous remark praising Faith for being "marvelous to trust him".However, Lily's casual comment makes Faith relook Peter who has bought new clothing and lost weight. She checks his credit card where she finds he bought flowers for someone. She questions him and he blows her off as being silly. Ultimately, she believes he is innocent and praises him for his faithfulness only to have him break down and confess he had an affair. As Peter tries to win back his wife, Faith begins to branch into other areas encouraged by her daughter and best friend.OUT OF THE BLUE could have been another "He did, she did" tale, but is more than that due to the rich cast that turns the prime theme of deceit into a deep character study. Faith lives up to her name until she learns Peter cheated. Peter feels guilt over his actions and his subsequent cover-up. Their daughter Katie steals the show with her Freudian analysis of everyone around her while Lily is a rip the skin off of everyone else magazine editor. These and other secondary players make for an upbeat amusing tale of relationships in the modern age that will have every spouse checking his pockets.Harriet Klausner
