Clare Pooley's books are great ensemble comedies with diverse casts. Iona was a great FMC, struggling with a middle-age crisis that wasn't a divorce from a man! Actually she's a lesbian. NICE! All of the MCs faced traumas, pretty serious problems, and character flaws that were holding them back; but the support they had for each other was really sweet and the intertwining plots were engaging.
