The story is told from the prospective of Richard, a man who cheated on his beautiful wife, and of course got caught. It was interesting reading about this from a male perspective. A different twist from the ordinary. Richard is an artist and his wife is a lawyer and they reside in Paris. He loves his wife Ann, but thinks he loves his mistress, then realizes that he really loves Ann, after being dumped by his mistress. When Ann is pregnant with their first child Richard paints a picture of a scene looking through a key hole at a vibrant blue bear. The painting loses its sentimental meaning to the couple, when the affair is known to Ann, and the painting is sold. Richard has to deliver the painting to a man name Dave in England where the mistress now resides, and is engaged to a man name Dave. Here the book gets kind of weird. The title threw me for a loop too. No one is having "Fun" in this book. Did I miss some inside joke? I keep looking at the cover. Is it suppose to be cynical? Enlighten me please!! I'm ready for that OH, I get it moment.
