"You want me to help you find a boyfriend for your lover's partner?" - The Other BoyfriendYou can't help whom you fall in love with. Unfortunately for Sarah Jamison, she's fallen for Jeffrey Williams, a man who is not only married to his job but is already in a relationship. With the help of her best friend, Monica, Sarah hatches a plot to get Jeffrey all to herself that involves finding a boyfriend for her lover's partner.The Other Boyfriendis a light-hearted, entertaining read but also quite sad. Maybe sad because I've had friends throw away their prime years on married men. That aside, though, Massara crafts an engaging story - one with a moral.I liked the character of Sarah (except when I wanted to shake her) and her fetish for throwing imaginary ashtrays and also that she was older than your average chick-lit heroine. Jeffrey, I wanted to... well, I'll leave that up to your imagination.Highly recommended.
