I loved it!!!

This book was so enjoyable to read that I was sorry to see it end. Others have commented that it could have been shorter, but I do not agree. I thought by the end of the book your really knew each person and saw how they evolved during the story. Jack was totally Devine! I got so into this story that I actually had sushi for lunch today!!!!

This book was better than the Other Side of the Story. All chicklit fans will enjoy this one.

Not bad

This was not her best book-it was a good story, the boyfriend stealing was the same as another book, it was just slower to get into. The 2nd half was better. Still Keyes, still worth the read!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Funny, Light, Quirky, and Ultimately Satisfying

Marian Keyes has such a lovely way of portraying all the bad with the good, and making us sympathize with even the evil ones. And most moving in this tale is Lisa, the evil, bossy, confident, perfectly groomed, perfectly dressed, maneating fashion editor who met her match and actually married him but then let him just go away without a fight. Ashling is quite sweet, and endearingly pathetic in her attempts to find love. There are many others whose plights are part of this cooky tale. It takes a little getting used to, all the separate and eventually intertwining plots. But all in all, a satisfying and fun read.

If only life was like this

I completely enjoyed this book, my first encounter with Ms. Keyes' work. The Dublin setting was new to me and so charming. And I wish life would more often imitate the fairy tale aspect of it -- the inner beauty of our Plain Jane (or in this case, Miss Fix-It) finally recognized and adored by Mr. Right. Most of all, I appreciated the sympathy with which Ms. Keyes wrote about the women in this story. Ashling, Lisa, Clodagh and Joy are all three dimensional and treated with humor, compassion and respect. One thing, though -- all that smoking! Maybe it's a European thing and smoking is more acceptable on that side of the pond. I was amused by Lisa taking vitamins, doing pilates, worrying about Botox, drinking only bottled water ... and smoking. And there's a scene where Ashling drunkenly whips a can of hairspray from her bag and uses it to save her stockings, while she has a lit cig hanging from her lips. Don't try this at home, ladies!

Enjoyable

An excellent read. This is the second book I've read by Keyes, and have loved both.

I had trouble relating with any of the characters, but I still found the story entertaining.
