February the fifteenth is a very special day for me. It is the day I gave birth to my first child. It is also the day my husband left me...I can only assume the two events weren't entirely unrelated. Claire has everything she ever wanted: a husband she adores, a great apartment, a good job. Then, on the day she gives birth to their first baby, James informs her that he's leaving her. Claire is left with a newborn daughter, a broken heart, and a postpartum body that she can hardly bear to look at. She decides to go home to Dublin. And there, sheltered by the love of a quirky family, she gets better. So much so, in fact, that when James slithers back into her life, he's in for a bit of a surprise.

Wow, this was terrible. I read this because I was on maternity leave, and too exhausted at the beginning to even go upstairs to the bookcase to find something better, and one of my friends gave me this book, so it was sitting in my living room. It was so bad, I can't even. Girl meets boy. Girl has baby. Boy leaves girl. Girl meets another boy. The end. What happened to the baby? Girl neglects baby for the entirety of the book except when convenient to the plot. Let me tell you how angry that made me to read about while trying very hard to be able to ignore my own newborn for 30 seconds so I could brush my teeth.
Husband leaves her as she is giving birth. Of course she meets a much better looking man, who falls for her. This is a novel!
