SMH, Feb 7, 2009:   "This is a sprightly bit of chick-lit...it's well crafted and lively. It also contains some sharp insights, particularly into the personalities and anxieties of children and into the routes by which straying men can equivocate their way out of explaining their own behaviour or accepting responsibility for its consequences."

www.chicklitclub.com gives Lucy 8/10. "Join Lucy on her two month journey from disbelief and despair - to so much more!"
