Mike did not even help Catherine with all the preparations! When Catherine suggested that Mike help his parents with a drink, they refused the suggestion because "Mike works so hard."No-one appreciated Catherine's efforts so she eventually snapped and went to Penny

I am so happy that Catherine took the courage to confront Mike about his fraud with his mistress' pharmaceutical company. Mike tried to escape by trying to accuse Catherine of being stupid and crazy for thinking of such a crazy idea, then trying to make it about their marriage falling apart. Catherine did not fall for it and said that Sophie's father could have died because Mike cared more about money than patients

Catherine's ex-husband Mike turns to be the most despicable person in this book. His cheating on Catherine and accusing her of "trapping him eith the pregnancy" was already terrible. Now we found out that the woman he cheated with, Rebecca, works for a pharmaceutical company, and Mike prescribes their drugs to his patients... Sophie's father took the medicine, got a heart attack, and a second doctor took off the drug

Anna got herself into trouble by getting too personal in her restaurant review. She had intended to write something personal and with an intended middle finger to her ex-boyfriend Pete (knowing thta his mother read her articles) but instead upset her co-worker Joe and his girlfriend Julia.

I am glad that Anna is finally going to dump Pete. It is a shame that Anna had to see him cheating on her to finally take the step - even without the cheating, Pete had not treated Anna well, and his spreadsheet was awful. It seems there is something going on between Anna and her coworker Joe, but Joe alreday has a girlfriend, Julia.

The three main characters interact in this chapter. Sophie is offering to help Anna in her quest to find her Italian father. Catherine is asking Anna about what could happen if an NHS doctor is regularly receiving a large sum of money. Anna is keen to dig into it, however, Catherine could not tell that the doctor is actually her husband (who had no problem going ahead and selling their home and make her homeless...)
