Separate Lives

Your partner of ten years, and the father of your children (though not your husband, because the two of you agreed that marriage seems so...old-fashioned), receives a text message. A text message you happen to see when you're getting ready for work one day:

Start living a different kind of life... P :-) xxx

You don't even know anyone with the initial P, but even if you did, the smiley face and kisses would send a shiver of fear down your spine that everything you and your partner have built and which seemed so strong, might be in danger of collapse. How could you miss that?

Narrated by Susie, her partner Alex, and the mysterious P, this is an achingly funny, moving and honest portrayal of modern romance, parenthood, and adultery.
