It's the Little Things
Listened to the audio book for sleep reading. It was gentle, interesting and perfect for during the night drifting off to sleep reading.
Chloe, a doctor, and Sally, a high-flying lawyer, are close friends. Sally is a dynamic risk-taker, married to the peaceable Dan who stays at home with their delightful small son Marcus. Chloe is still rather hurt by rejection from her last boyfriend, and reluctant to start another relationship. Then she gets to know Seth, who seems to be perfect in just about every respect... except that he is harbouring a secret. Chloe, Dan and Seth are all very likeable people, but I couldn't quite bring
Erica James is a slight read, and yet also nearly always an immeasurable pleasure. Her stories are grounded in a narrow circle and, though her writing is less than great (for a pre editor, there are cringe-worth moments), her characters are nearly always believable. More importantly, you believe the author's voice--you believe that she believes what she is writing about, and cares about her characters. So that you want to care, too.This isn't her strongest. The whole Tsunami thing didn't work
Comforting escapism A delightful tale of life and its turbulent times. Watching Chloe reveal and come to terms with past decisions is an entertaining and thought provoking journey. The depth of understanding of very real emotions is Erica James forte. I thoroughly enjoyed this story.
Chloe Henessy is 37 and a GP at the local surgery where her Dad previously worked, Chloe along with her friends Dan and Sally are grateful to be alive after being caught up in the Boxing Day Tsunami.

This was a light but good read. Maybe not as well done as some of hers, but I would still recommend it. I have read most of Erica James books, she is an English author who places her books in English settings. She does very well with women who are past the 1st blush of romance & have some "life experience." Maybe that's why I like her.

Dan and Sally Oliver and their friend Chloe Hennessey are lucky to be alive. Three years on, after surviving one of the world's biggest natural disasters—the Boxing Day tsunami—their lives have changed dramatically. Dan and Sally are now parents. Dan is enjoying being a stay-at-home father taking care of their young son, and Sally is the bread winner and loves her job as a partner in a Manchester law firm. The arrangement has worked out well so far, but when Dan starts to question whether Sally has got her priorities right, the cracks in their marriage begin to appear. Dan and Sally have everything Chloe wishes for in life—a happy marriage and a beautiful child. Dumped by her long term boyfriend just weeks after the tsunami, she's been on a mission ever since to find the perfect father for the child she craves. When she meets Seth Hawthorne, she thinks she may have hit the jackpot. But is Seth the man she thinks he is? A life can change in a heartbeat but It's the Little Things is not simply about the moments when everything changes, but also a moving, compelling, and inspiring story of how we lead our lives in the days and years that follow.Be Specific About Epithetical Books It's the Little Things
