And then, when he feels like it, he crosses the river and goes back to his unsuspecting wife and children.

He thinks he can have it all, until is deception is inevitably exposed...'The Best a Man Can Get' is written with the hilarious eye for detail that sent John O'Farrell's first book, 'Things Can Only Get Better', to the top of the bestseller lists.
