I would buy this book solely for the gorgeous cover, but it's also quite a fun book written in diary form. It follows Venetia over the course of a year, after her husband has left her and her three children for another woman. She is not exactly struggling and lives in a rather gorgeous house, but taken in the spirit in which it's written (pink shoes, tented bathrooms etc) it's a lovely light-hearted read.
