This was by far one of the funniest books I've read in the past year. Very 'Bridget Jones' but less stuffy and more 'Sex and the City' meets crazy family. -- ‘Heather’ (Amazon reader) “I couldn't put it down. I literally laughed out loud several times... and who wouldn't want to read through a stranger's correspondence? Fabulous book. --‘Noel’ (Amazon reader) So refreshing not to have a cliche rom-com where you know exactly how everything is going to pan out! If you want a great British comedy give this a read! -- ‘Miss LL Colmer’ (Amazon reader) Product Description Coco Pinchard was never a single thirty-something. She married young, had a son, and put her dream to be a writer on hold. Now her first novel is published. Husband Daniel has greyed nicely into a silver fox, and son Rosencrantz is grown up. It should be time to enjoy life. That is, until the annual family Christmas when her hideous mother-in-law Ethel comes to stay, and Coco opens her gift from Daniel. It’s not the jewellery she chose, but an iPhone. This marks the start of Daniel’s mid-life crisis and she catches him in bed with a younger woman. The iPhone becomes a confessional of sorts, through emails to her friends Chris, an ageing trustafarian and Marika a slightly alcoholic schoolteacher. Coco documents her seemingly endless (and often entertaining!) run of bad luck. Then she meets the hunky Adam and she’s back in the world of dating as a single forty-something... Read the emails that tell the hilarious tale of Coco picking up the pieces, in this fun, feel good Romantic Comedy.

He was a finalist in the 2010 BBC Drama Writers Academy and has published two novels, The Not So Secret Emails Of Coco Pinchard and Bitch Hollywood (co- written with Ján Bryndza). The latter was inspired by the year Robert and Ján spent living and working in Los Angeles. Robert is currently working on a sequel to The Not So Secret Emails Of Coco Pinchard - Coco Pinchard's Big Fat Tipsy Wedding - which will be published in May 2013.

My Review from Zen Dixie
5 novembre 2012
Di Rebecca S Dobrinski

Formato:Formato Kindle|Acquisto verificato Amazon
I picked up this book for two reasons: first, the title intrigued me; second, it was free.
Sometimes I think mild voyeurism is part of human nature. Why else would shows like Survivior, Real Housewives, and Big Brother be so popular? And why else would the potential of peeking into someone's (albeit a fictional someone's) private electronic world be so intriguing. So, I dove head first into the life of Coco Pinchard via a series of one-sided emails.
Robert Bryndza did not disappoint. In The Not So Secret Emails of Coco Pinchard, Bryndza lured the reader in at one of the most stressful times of a person's year - the Christmas holidays. Everyone can relate to Coco's emailing her best friends Chris and Marika, venting about her in-laws, her family, and their trials and tribulations.
The story takes place mainly in England, with short stints in Brataslava, Slovakia, and Los Angeles. Coco Pinchard is an author who, shortly after a stressful holiday, has her life turned upside down. From ill-timed remarks and a philandering husband to gardening an allotment and staging a musical, Coco's emails to her two best friends (Chris and Marika) and her son (Rosencrantz) help keep her from completely drowning in the insanity of her life.
An interesting twist to the writing is that Bryndza gives only Coco's perspective. It is Coco's emails and responses that appear in the book. However, the reader can glean a lot from this one side of many conversations. Watching Coco deal with trauma, family, mis-steps, and successes reminds us that we all go though ups and downs and, with any luck, we find out we are much stronger than we thought.
In The Not So Secret Emails of Coco Pinchard, the reader joins Coco for a roller coaster ride through nine months of her life. At the end, Coco seems more like a friend than another character.

Laughed so hard that I scared the cats out of my room!

Phenomenal!! I never review on Amazon. I usually just review on Goodreads, and when I do review...I rarely give 5 stars to anything.
I was up until 3 AM reading this last night. I simply could not put it down.
Absolutely hilarious. If you are a fan of Absolutely Fabulous, it has this kind of comedic hook...Just a comedy of errors wrapped up in a woman's struggle to get her life that she thought was on track, but suddenly derails in the worse way possible, back together again.
Ethel(The Mother-in-Law) gets 5 stars of her very own.
It really has been ages since a book made me laugh out loud this often.
I would love to see this on the big screen or as a tv series.

I adored this book! It can be compared to Bridget Jones Diary. Funny and delightful, you will be rooting for Coco from the beginning. I am happy I stumbled across this book.
