Being Committed Book
Do you have to be crazy to get married? Anna Maxted’s heroine Hannah in Being Committed certainly does--and she’s in no hurry to change her mind. Why should she? She’s got the perfect life (as she sees it); in particular, she has a very interesting job: she’s a private investigator for the quaintly-named Hound Dog Investigations, involved in tricky but satisfyingly challenging cases. There's her supportive father (who more than makes up for her less appealing mother). And there’s her long-term boyfriend Jason: her five-year relationship with him is another comforting factor in her status quo. Then Jason proposes--and, without hesitation, Hannah say no--why rock the boat? But the boat is definitely rocked for her when Jason decides, shortly after, to get engaged to another woman. Her father thinks she’s let a good thing pass her by. And Hannah realises its time to coolly take stock of her life--and what she wants from it. In both Getting Over It and Behaving Like Adults, Anna Maxted made her mark as a novelist of humour, humanity and insight; her skill with plotting is matched with a talent for realising the individual personalities of her characters with maximum vividness. That’s very much the case in Being Committed, with Hannah the perfect heroine--even though the reader may want to shout at her at times. If Hound Dog Investigations is unlike any detective agency that ever existed on this planet, it’s hardly a problem: every other detail in this delightful and funny novel rings absolutely true.--Barry ForshawRead More

Hannah thinks you have to be absolutely nuts to want to get married. She's quite content with her life - her job as a private investigator, Jason (her boyfriend of ten years standing), and her relationship with her wonderful dad. Besides which, she's tried it once but she and Jack ended up divorced before she was 21.
