Not really chick-lit but young married lit - quite entertaining. Two couples in Bath encounter one another in birthing class - but the wives were enemies earlier in New York. The husbands could not be more different, either - one a real estate agent, formerly a London high flyer; the other a commando recycler who frequents dumps and reuses condoms. (Birthing class, remember?) The story follows the two families in the early months of child-rearing, when their paths cross in totally unexpected ways.

Quite readable.
