GETTING RID OF MATTHEW

Book ID/图书代码： 03540006B02456

English Summary/英文概要： What to do if Matthew, your secret lover of the past four years, finally decides to leave his wife Sophie and their two daughters and move into your flat, just when you’re thinking that you might not want him anymore...PLAN A - Stop shaving your armpits, and your bikini line; tell him you have a moustache that you wax every six weeks; stop having sex with him; pick holes in the way he dresses; don’t brush your teeth, or your hair, or pluck out the stray hag-whisker that grows out of your chin; and, buy incontinence pads and leave them lying around.PLAN B - Accidentally on purpose bump into his wife Sophie; give yourself a fake name and identity; befriend Sophie; actually begin to really like Sophie; snog Matthew’s son (who’s the same age as you by the way. You’re not a paedophile); buy a cat and give it a fake name and identity; befriend Matthew’s children, unsuccessfully; and, watch your whole plan go absolutely horribly wrong. Getting rid of Matthew isn’t as easy as it seems, but along the way, Helen will forge an unlikely friendship, find real love and realize that nothing ever goes exactly to plan...

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 四年前，她三十五歲。
三十五歲還年輕得很，可惜她到現在才明白。
不知是輸給寂寞還是恐慌的她，
明明可以不要那份似是而非的愛呀！

過去四年來，馬修是海倫的全部，她一心一意只想著如何抓住這個男人，友誼沒了、自尊不在，婚姻與事業的機會悄悄溜走，更別說她的青春。她最大的願望就是這個劈腿男能專一地愛她。

這天，一如往常，馬修不能陪她，為了打發時間，海倫突發奇想列了兩張清單。「離開馬修的理由」包括：懦弱、不敢給承諾、說一套做一套、腳踏兩條船……等海倫寫完，竟發現長達三頁半。另一張是「不離開馬修的理由」，內容只有三點：

他說他愛我。
他很風趣。
除他之外，我還能跟誰出去？

寫完第三點，她心頭一凜，毅然決然打定主意，立刻展開甩掉劈腿男的痛快計畫。(KC)
