I really enjoyed this book...it's the first I've read by Keyes and I already have requested another...if you like chick lit books that are funny and entertaining, you need to read this book! Some parts made me laugh out loud! :) -Mirah W.

I liked this book much more than I expected - the characters are sweet and real, and I ended up quite fond of most of them!

I read "Watermelon" by Marian Keyes before I read this one and I have to say that I liked this one much less. Honestly, it's rare that I have to struggle so much just to get through a book. It's set in Ireland and while that's all well and good, a lot of the language is very different which makes it kind of choppy to me. I felt that it dragged a lot through the beginning/middle and there was definitely more than one time that I thought about just quitting. I thought "Watermelon" was so funny and I really didn't see much of that humor in this book. Not a fan.

Marian does it again - laugh out loud at some of her great characters

My second Marian Keyes read and makes me grateful that I've found another great author.

Lisa Edwards

This Prada-wearing magazine editor thinks her life is over when her "fabulous" new job turns out to be a deportation to Dublin to launch Colleen magazine. The only saving grace is that her friends aren't there to witness her downward spiral. Might her new boss, the disheveled and moody Jack Devine, save her from a fate worse than hell?

Ashling Kennedy

Ashling, Colleen's assistant editor, is an award-winning worrier, increasingly aware that something fundamental is missing from her life -- apart from a boyfriend and a waistline.

Clodagh "Princess" Kelly

Ashling's best friend, Clodagh, lives the domestic dream in a suburban castle. So why, lately, has she had the recurring urge to kiss a frog -- or sleep with a frog, if truth be told? As these three women search for love, success, and happiness, they will discover that if you let things simmer under the surface for too long, sooner or later they'll boil over.
