Brilliant -Marian Keyes outdoes herself yet again

Ashling is the star of this show, kind of plain and good hearted, she can hardly believe it when she is given the job of editor's assistant on a fabulous new magazine starting in Ireland -Colleen. This is a huge jump up from her old job at the Women's Weekly.

Lisa is immaculately groomed, extremely ambitious, gorgeous and has a heart of coal. She can hardly believe it when she is made editor of Colleen -it's a huge step down for someone who had their heart set on the editorship of a trendy magazine in New York.

Clodagh has it all: gorgeous husband, two beautiful children and all the money in the world to shop to her hearts content. But her heart isn't content at all -she looks around and finds her life somewhat lacking in the excitement department.

Ashling and Lisa work together, Clodagh is Ashlings best friend. Things begin to unravel for all three women. Ashling realises that her "Little Miss Fix-It" persona is not working for her anymore, Lisa starts to miss her gorgeous estranged husband way more than she ever thought she would, and CLodagh embarks on a passionate and reckless afair.

All three stories weave together seamlessly, and are so absorbing you will obsess about finishing the book like I did. Magnificent writing, I hope we get to read more of Marian Keyes soon -highly recommended

A heart warmner

I bought it in a bargain section in a book store and enjoyed it thoroughly. Its a very heart warming story. Simple in its essence, but as the 3 main women unravel and piece themselves together, you find yourself too. The humour in it kept me rolling (literally) on the floor laughing.
Reading this book has made me seriously consider visiting Dublin. I would recommend it for anyone who is game for a comedy cum romance.

my new fav author!

I disagree with the other reviewer completely.
I appreciated the backgrounds detailed for the main characters. I really enjoyed this my first Marian Keyes novel, and would easily purchase a sequel. I have just ordered Rachel's Holiday too.

Another irish-based novel about 3 women...

Although I enjoyed the first Marian Keyes novel I read (the other side of the story) I was a little dissapointed to discover that whilst this book is written with as much skill and passion as "other side..." it seems to follow a similar outline to it: 3 women, all with similar situations to this book. Ashling has problems which stem from her mother (Gemma), Lisa is a sucessful high flyer (Jojo) and Clogagh has a picture perfect life but feels worthless on the inside (Lily). It addresses issues such as adultery, divorce, depression and many more, but all which are addressed in her other books.
I love your style Marian, but give us something new and different! Show us versatility that only good authors can provide!
