This is my first Marian Keyes read. The best thing about this book for me was the way the author had with her words. She writes very well, and draws you in easily. I appreciated that. And I really enjoyed how she made her secondary characters, Claire's family-to be specificly, so lively and funny and very warm personalities. Even when they were being silly or mean or whatever other emotion, the characters wrapped around me like a warm blanket. The only reason this novel isn't a favorite of mine is because of Claire's situation with her husband. I could not like the storyline or how she developed it and its conclusion. While it ended well, I wanted more from the plot. But I am glad I tried Marian Keyes. I may read another.

I found this to be a funny story and I could relate with the main character. However I found the ending to be a bit predictable. Fun read though!

Marian Keyes writes the most fun books and Watermelon is no different. Fun & witty with great characters that you really empathize with.

Not too bad a book. Just a little strange how the author is constantly writing what the main character is thinking - more than usual. That part was a little annoying. The book itself was pretty predictable in alot of ways but the characters in the book were very interesting.
