The Best a Man Can Get - John O'Farrell

One I wouldn't normally have picked up, but I felt like something light & it came recommended, so I gave it a try, and was glad I did as I found myself laughing out loud all the way through it. The story itself, about a young father whose secret double life as an unencumbered bachelor is starting to unravel, plays out fairly predictably for the most part (one section did take me completely by surprise & make me laugh even harder, but this was balanced by the next "twist" being really predictable), but the writing style - full of genuinely funny one-liners - makes this well worth a read.
