Book Review: Anyone For Seconds by Fiona Cassidy

Posted on Wednesday, February 24th, 2010 by Chloe

Frankie McCormick is just getting her life back on track. Her pig of a husband Tony left her for an American bimbo who he’s now having a baby with, and left her with their 2 young children to look after, a job to hold down and a life to run too.

When she meets Owen at work, she doesn’t expect him to be interested in a frumpy mum of 2, but luckily for her he is.
