As far as I am concerned, this was OK for a holiday read. The front cover says 'It bubbles and sparkles like pink champagne'. For me it felt a bit flat. I thought the prologue was so good and so painful that I had to stop reading it for a moment but the rest of the book did not grip me. I didn't really feel the emotions of the characters, I felt it not believable. I read a review which said how the repetition of the word 'anyroadup' annoyed the reviewer so when I came across it for the second time I thought 'aaaargh' but I think it only appears about 12 times in the book(, not counting but after the review it sort of leapt out at me.) Personally I hated the repeated use of 'feck'. Anyhow or anyroadup(!), I could put the book down, which was very different to how I felt about the book I had read before this one 'How to fall in Love' Cecilia Ahern. Other reviewers have written about the story line, I am just writing about how the book was for me. It was fine for an easy holiday read but I am not passing it onto my friend,not good enough. Claudia Carroll's 'Personally I blame my fairy godmother' was heaps better . This one was a disppointment after that.

Annie and Dan decide to take a break from their marriage for a year and this follows mainly Annie as she goes to New York which is worlds away from the small town she lives in Ireland. The characters are likeable even if Annie is a bit naive. The use of 'Anyroadup' throughout the book is a bit annoying though.
5.0 out of 5 starsWill you still love me tomorrow?

Really enjoyed this book but got really frustrated with Dan the vet, Annie's husband. At times i felt like i was the one married to him. Have to admit i quite liked the idea of Jack, the theater director whisking me off somewhere into the sunset. :)
3.0 out of 5 starsOk but too irritating and slow to be anything more than just "ok"

This was my first Claudia Carroll book.
For me, the book didn't really get going until over half way through but when it did I found it quite an enjoyable read. The plot is different enough and I did find I cared what happened to Annie and Dan
Three main gripes though!
Like other readers, the overuse of the word "anyroadup" really irritated me! Also "bad burning feeling like indigestion" is lifted straight out of 'This Charming Man' by Marian Keyes. Finally I felt like she repeated herself too much - okay so Annie needs "half a can of serum to tame her hair otherwise she looks like sideshow bob" but did this really need to be repeated in its entirety every time Annie was doing her hair? It's as if the author thinks she's written something amusing and is repeating it in case the reader missed it the first time!
All in all it was ok but it hasn't convinced me to read anything else by Claudia Carroll
Will you still love me tomorrow? is a wonderful fail of a hard marriage working itself out in end. Annie is an actress who took some time out when her husband's, Dan, father died and he has to take over the vet clinic. Annie has to deal with the crazy mother-in-law, a woman who wants her husband and the little exaggerating sister. She also ha to deal with a husband who never speaks to her, or listens. Annie then gets a job, however there's a catch. She has to be in New York for a year. In that year several things happens, as well as marriage sabbatical, or 'gap year' where they can do as they please. Things happen in that year that makes both or them realise the silly mistake they have made.
When I was reading the book, I noticed that quite a few phrases had been repeated, sometimes several times in one chapter. Other than that I thought it was a magnificent read and can't wait to read more of Claudia Carroll's work.
