A thirty-something tax auditor who doesn't overlook a thing, Lucy Shoreman had been blind to her husband's philandering. Now, as he lies on his deathbed, she decides she's not going through it alone. She opens Artie's little black book and begins calling his sweethearts. And to her great surprise, one by one, they show up: the one who hates him, the one who owes her life to him, the one he turned into a lesbian, and the one he taught to dance. And among them is one visitor with the strangest story of all: the young man who may or may not be Artie's long lost son. Now, Lucy and her husband's sweethearts are sharing secrets, sharing tears, making connections and even reconciliations. And as Lucy's life is changing forever, she knows the biggest surprises are yet to come.… (mehr)

I wanted to like this more than I did. It was entertaining but a little shallow. Lucy seems to do a lot of whining and ineffective self-examination. I enjoyed the way the women came together as friends and although I didn't really like Artie (and he wasn't really a main character) I did appreciate the idea he represented that people are a confusing mix of good and bad.

A mensagem deixada num livro é algo que me fascina, que me faz relembrar durante dias uma leitura e a torna especial. Calculo que seja um trabalho árduo para qualquer autor deixar uma mensagem especial nas suas histórias e fazer com que os seus livros se tornem intemporais, mas Bridget Asher no seu tom descontraído e divertido deixa-nos a pensar em algo que acaba por ser especial nesta altura do ano, o perdão.
O livro trata da história de Lucy, uma mulher que depois de se separar do seu infiel marido, descobre que este está gravemente doente e por isso começa a ligar a todas as ex-amantes deste para que lhe façam uma última visita.
Apesar do tema um pouco triste, todo o livro encontra-se escrito de forma muito divertida e acaba por ser lido rapidamente. A personagem principal, Lucy está muito bem caracterizada e mesmo sendo a pessoa que mais sofreu com as traições do marido não se transforma na célebre “coitadinha” de quem todos têm pena. O mesmo acontece com as ex-amantes de Artie, que acabam por ter um papel muito importante na trama.
Esta é uma leitura bastante leve e também um daqueles livros que imaginamos como seria a sua adaptação cinematográfica.

Lucy Shoreman left her older husband, Artie, six months ago after discovering he had cheated on her...repeatedly. She still loves the charming little cheat, however, so when she learns he is dying, she returns home to care for him, even though she can't make herself forgive him. She's angry, hurt and betrayed.

She doesn't think it's fair that his "sweethearts" got to be there with him through the good times but aren't around during the bad times. So she takes out his little black book and starts calling them. To her surprise, they soon start showing up to sit at his bedside; a parade of Artie's sweethearts over the years, as well as a long lost son. What transpires is very special.

I was expecting something humorous, maybe a little angry, but this is also touching and hopeful. You'll learn some lessons on friendship, forgiveness and love.

This book is a gem. ( )

I don't think that I could sit at a husband's bedside while he was dying, knowing that he had cheated on me...more accurately, was a serial cheater, and I had just found out. I know that I have never loved anyone enough for that. Lucy can...kind of. She discovers her husband's infidelities and leaves for a business trip. While on her trip, Artie finds out that he is dying...and quickly. She eventually comes back to deal with it. Lucy is written so beautifully, she is angry, sad, still in love, furious, scared...

While drunk, she randomly calls some women from his little black book and invites them to take their turn at his bedside. Some show up. Hopeful, this book shows that family is what you make it.

I am not normally one for yay blah blah blah, everything will be alright books, but I really liked this one. Touching. ( )
