Have you ever been in that high tension situation where your partner suddenly just hushes up and utters those spine tingling words, "I've got something to tell you..."?

'Mad About The Boy' by Maggie AldersonIn this case, there are only two scenarios - it could be good news or worse, some really bad news. Either way, it ain't quite fun to be in a rut like this if you were Antonia Heaveringham. The lady thought she had the perfect marriage, until... her world turned upside down.

Maggie Alderson's quirky tale about a gay husband and his wife's gym endeavours takes you on a ride you will surely enjoy.

Peppered with interesting characters like Uncle Percy, the colourful relative who saves her day and the self-proclaimed celibate gym trainer, what's there not to enjoy? This book sure as hell makes perfect reading while tanning at the beach.
