Our 3mo old baby wore this for a wedding; I guess the bride was the second best dressed!!!!!! Everyone had complements for our baby (he's got the looks to go with the tux!!!).

The characters in Coupling are wonderfully quirky and interesting. The dialog is quick and witty. Despite the characters' somewhat implausible friendships as a group - the clever writers pull it off and the resulting repartee is terrifically funny.
The DVD includes the Episodes: Flushed; Size Matters; Sex Death and Nudity; Inferno; The Girl with Two Breasts; and The Cupboard of Patrick's Love
Wait till you hear about "Wobble Wars"! :-D
The characters are six thirty-something friends who are involved, formerly involved, or potentially will be involved with one another.
Susan is beautiful, bright, secure and sexy tart.
Jane is a nitwit completely oblivious to social tact and often oblivious in general.
Sally is pretty, but shallow, insecure, and vain. She is obsessed with appearance and aging (primarily her own but she also delights in critiquing other women).
Steve is a bit neurotic but the closest to "normal" in this bunch.
Jeff is a lunatic who has never had a normal healthy relationship with a women. Typically when he is around attractive women his brain disengages and he stammers himself into impossible-to-explain situations. Jeff has his own unique views on life and has named some of life's most arcane occurrences ("the sock gap" etc.). Naturally he has to explain this stuff to his friends.
Patrick is a lothario who is the antithesis of political correctness.
This is the funniest show on television - period. I regularly laugh out loud especially at Steve and Patrick's reactions to Jeff's absurdity. How many laugh-out-loud funny shows are there on television really? The humor is at times British but that only contributes to Coupling's charm.
Coupling is probably not appropriate for young children and the character's topic of discussions are frequently sexual in nature.
Hysterically funny show! Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Excellent!! This is a great book to chill out with at the beach or coffe shop.  It's a charming and funny story about the relationships of one man's life presented in a clever way from start to finish.  I really enjoyed the humor (laughed out loud at least twice) and I actually felt for the guy as he comtemplated the difficulties in his life.
** I highly recommend this book for anyone looking for that warm and fuzzy feeling you get from watching the Sandlot or a Tom Hanks/Meg Ryan flick **

The characters especially OVE were delightful and very clever keeping the reader involved.  The goodness and interaction of neighbors and various age groups was wonderful to experience in a book.  The clever character intermixing such that you could see them and hear them....especially the accents of various nationalities.  There was a whimsy that warmed my heart!

I LOVED this book! I have honestly never laughed out loud reading a book before. This author is witty, clever, and funny....whilst still having the ability to weave romance and mystery through the story. Quite a feat. The characters are strongly drawn, and the personalities are as eclectic as the authors humour. I slowed down my reading pace towards the end of the book, because I truly did not want it to end.
I have now also read books 2 & 3, and can't wait for the next book in the series.

I loved reading the reviews here for Family Affair because they are all true, and they gave me some great quotes!  "uber-hip"  "Super-talented writer" "witty insider, super smart" "one of the funniest people writing today" "and so funny...(and also funny)"  and, "Caprice makes writing romantic comedy look effortless . . . For the reader - just sit back and enjoy. You're in the hands of a true maestro!"  This is important to note since Caprice is a total, highly qualified and gifted, pro! (TV writer too, BH 90210, Melrose Place), also personable and available to her audience who can follow her "snarky humor" on Twitter or Facebook --  I thank goodness for her creating such great, fun, contemporary and engaging novels I can sit back and simply enjoy!

Having read her first two books, I now get to anticipate the fourth book, and the movies, too, and whatever else Caprice presents!  happily . . .

This is one of those rare books you want to savour. I found myself delaying finishing it if only because I liked having a bit of Lia and Kiev to read every day - and now I dont! :(

A delightful, fun, quirky, AWESOME read full of vibrant characters and awesome dialogue!! Seriously, Lia and Kievs internal monologues are absolutely HILARIOUS.

Get ready for loads of fun, hilarity and yes, romance, because this book delivers on all fronts. I found its like good wine - it gets better with ever chapter, until it wraps up with a perfect ending that leaves you smiling.

HIGHLY recommend this!!! Make it your next Spring read ASAP

I'm reading every Georgette Heyer book I can get my hands on.  She is simply brilliant in creating her characters, in spinning out sparkling dialogue, and in her astounding knowledge of the period.  I can't get enough of her vocabulary and all those witty turns of phrase.  This book is essentially a comedy about mistaken identity, or rather, one handsome twin (Kit) posing as the missing handsome twin (Evelyn -- and that is a man's name in England, pronounced Eve - uh - lyn).  Evelyn has disappeared.  The twins' mother -- a gorgeous feather-brained spendthrift (widowed) named Amabel -- hatches a plan for Kit to masquerade as the missing Evelyn, largely because Evelyn's engagement to Cressida Stavely has the potential to set all things right with the family's finances.  When Evelyn finally shows up, things are in a serious tangle.  This is a fun Heyer novel -- very lighthearted.  The character of the fluff-brained but beautiful mother is masterfully done.  Highly recommended.

Such a fantastic funny surprise.  I am amazed that this is not a more popular book, it is a nice quick read with a witty POV. I highly recommend it!

I really enjoyed this book, it is written with such extraordinary wit and humour, it cracked me up on every page!
Though I couldn't relate to the Hardy and DH Lawrence insinuations since I haven't read anything by them yet, I still found the novel utterly charming with its obvious parody and "making fun of everything"-way. Stella Gibbons' style was fantastic, it was a hugely enjoyable novel.

Jane Herlong is simply HILARIOUS.  Having known Jane for several years, I can hear her reading this book to me. Jane is the epitome of class and elegance. When you combine those traits with her comedic expertise, you will find yourself totally enthralled in her words. One thing is for sure...Your eyes will "water-up". Jane will bring you to tears with her funny stories of her life's experiences or with her soul-stirring lessons of life that each of us can relate to and learn from. Excellent...Simply Excellent !!

I am grateful to Marcella Nardi for this funny and well written book. I like the way Marcella projects herself into her main character. This is a risky trick, but she manages it well. I am learning the Italian language and I found this book very readable (but not dumbed-down), modern and very witty.

I am aged far above the target audience for this book, but I do know a quality book when I read it.  And this book is just so much FUN!  It has great characters and an age-appropriate mystery about a missing dog.  As a nod to the original Sherlock Holmes mysteries, it just hits all the right notes for me.  It is just so very CLEVER and well-done!  Shelby's absolutely genius bulldog, Sir Arthur, made me laugh with delight.  I hope Shelby, Watson and Sir Arthur go on many more adventures together__can't wait for the next one coming out in Sept. 2017!

Received a copy in exchange for an honest review.

I didn't know what to expect, I didn't get the title until reading and then went 'doh!' silly me!! omg??? the cover pic, pmsl, I love it! Will never get that out of my head ;-)

I am another who doesn't normally read books my men, I don't know why, I do have one author who is a man, my crime thriller guy, but he is a recent find to, well, i shall be rectifying that matter after reading this. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

I laughed out loud so much, the cheeky wit and sense of humour of Morgan is something else, it can be seen on his Facebook page too, which i checked out before reading, so was so glad it crossed over into the book.

The novel is written like he is having a conversation with you. When he had his Daughter to stay, (as the Princess B*tch or his wife as she is otherwise known left him) well, if this was a movie, she would win the Best Actress, she made it for me, i was screaming, every scene between Father and Daughter is priceless! You couldn't write this stuff....well, you could, because, he did...obviously!

The A,B,C Song...he wanted to sing Twinkle Twinkle, but she was 'Alergic' pmsl!

'L,M,N,O,P' or in Evelyn-speak, "yellow mellow pee."

They had an argument over this. The pair of them off to bed angry.

But the sick day...when Evelyn was ill and Daddy had to look after her. I was weak....weak with laughter, shopping! omg the visuals!

But it isn't all sassy wit and laughter and thinking about getting his leg over with his Fan Girl Emma. There are sweet romantic moments, trying to get his life and wife back. Before realising that may not be actually what he wants?

There has to be a follow up I hope, it was hinted at I think although the story did wrap up, hhmmmmm..I hope it isn't tightly sealed :-)

Recommended and I will be reading more from Morgan!

The child and adult in you will like this one. This book is hilariously funny and clever. Dry deadpan humor that will have you smiling and laughing out loud.  And it is full of current, up to date, witty, wry commentary on our present day state of affairs.  I'm betting the book will be a play on Broadway soon. My favorite is 'Little Red Jogging Suit'.
Men: do not be scared off by the title or back cover, I did not find it at all anti-man bashing.
