Rules for a perfect life . . .

Rule One: Do not ditch the man everyone says is perfect for you because he eats the last yellow jelly-baby in the bag.

Rule Two: Do not move to a shack in the country to 'find yourself' and inadvertently become an object of ridicule for the locals.

Rule Three: Do not fall for a man who has two children who hate you, a saintly dead wife you can never live up to and a mother who thinks you are the hired help.

Maggie wants the perfect life – but if she keeps breaking the rules can she ever have it?
