This book is more about Dodie's troubled marriage and her problems dealing with the boss' wife than it is about being an ex-pat living in Thailand. It's entertaining at times, but the parts about her husband's sexual issues are tiresome. Apr 21, Pam rated it really liked it. Very funny and informative book about a lady living in Thailand for her husband's job. I think older women will appreciate the humor more, but I think anyone would get a kick out of it, as well as learn quite a bit about Thailand to boot.

Jul 14, Sharon James rated it liked it. It was okay but nothing fantastic. I really like the author, she came across as a lovely, kind and very funny lady, however, as a current expat in Thailand I found it very hard to relate to her sugar coated stories about life in this unfriendly and often dangerous country.

Welcome to Expat.com

A really dumb book!! I certainly would not recommend it and won't read anything else by this author. It was a Book Club book and we universally hated it by the whole group!

  2. Top Authors.
  3. See a Problem?!

While Dodie did relate tales of living in Thailand, most of her story was about the trouble he had with her husband and the wife of his boss. It was not at all what I was looking for. See all 24 reviews.
