Un buon matrimonio, una famiglia, e, insieme, il brivido di una relazione segreta e travolgente. E se avere entrambe le cose non fosse impossibile? Se lo chiedono Owen e Lucy, alle prese con le certezze, i dilemmi e i compromessi della loro condizione di coppia sposata vicina ai quaranta. La sera in cui, dopo qualche bicchiere di troppo, gli amici Thom e Victoria confessano di volersi concedere un periodo di 'infedeltà programmata', Lucy e Owen si scoprono tentati dall'idea. E, stilata una lista di semplici regole (una su tutte: vietato innamorarsi), aprono le porte del matrimonio a sei mesi di trasgressione. Ma il passo tra l'infrangere le regole e ritrovarsi con il cuore infranto può essere breve e, tra sorprese e complicazioni di ogni genere, i due dovranno combattere per ciò che più conta: l'occasione di conoscersi e amarsi per quello che sono davvero.

Holly Frick has just endured the worst kind of breakup: the kind where you're still in love with the person leaving you.  While her wounds are still dangerously close to the surface, her happily married best friend confesses over a bottle of wine that she is this close to having an affair.  And another woman comes to Holly for advice about her love life--with Holly's ex!

Holly decides that if everyone around her can take pleasure wherever they find it, so will she.  As any self-respecting 30ish New York woman would do, she brings two males into her life: a flawed but endearing dog, and a good natured, much younger lover.  She's soon entangled in a web of emails, chance meetings, and misguided good intentions and must forge an entirely new path to Nirvana. 

From the author of The Big Love, Secrets to Happiness is a big-hearted, knife-sharp, and hilariously entertaining story about the perils of love and friendship, sex and betrayal--and a thoroughly modern take on our struggle to be happy.

Alison Hopkins isn't just looking for Mr. Right . . . or even Mr. Big. She's holding out for the Big Love.

When 32-year-old Alison's first real boyfriend unceremoniously dumps her - he steps out to buy mustard for a dinner party and never returns - it's time for Alison to reassess her lifelong search for romantic fulfillment. Does true love even exist? Is every romantic involvement with a coworker inevitably doomed? Does sex without commitment always lead to disaster? Is a girl's evangelical Christian upbringing an impediment to her finding true happiness?

Funnier than any 'chick-lit,' as poised and accomplished as any literary debut this year, The Big Love is a big-hearted, hilariously entertaining novel that readers all across America are falling for.
