Witty romance with laugh-out-loud moments

Liz and John Langdon have been happily married for fifteen years. However, both their lives are so busy that they've lost touch with each other. Liz is absorbed in raising their twin boys, while John is busy as a successful pediatrician. Once the boys start first grade, Liz is determined to spend more time with her husband. However, when Liz drops by John's office to take him to lunch, she gets an unpleasant surprise: he is holding his sobbing secretary -- a tiny, "helpless" blonde. Although it turns out that this was only an act of kindness and comforting on John's part --and that he is not having an affair-- this serves as a wake-up call to Liz to get their marriage back on track. Liz tries all manner of ways to rekindle John's interest: flirtatious remarks, sexy attire, even a "serious" attempt to discuss the news at the breakfast table. Will any of these tactics work in bringing them closer?This book had me laughing out loud in places. I liked Liz's progressively funnier attempts to win her husband's attention. John is a good man, who is not totally unaware of their problems. I would definitely recommend this book.
