Book Description:
The internationally bestselling author of Last Chance Saloon, the incomparable Marian Keyes is back with a delirious celebration of life, love, and sisterhood in La-La Land. The only one of her siblings not burdened with the "diva gene," Maggie Walsh always prided herself on her normalcy --until she caught her irreproachable husband having an affair and was sacked from her dependable job. Suddenly her perfectly organized existence has become a perfect mess. Rather than stew in her sorrow, she decides, for the first time in her life, to do something daring -- and flees to the shelter of her best friend Emily in the faraway wonderland of Los Angeles. In this mecca of tanned, beautiful bodies, unsvelte, uncool Maggie is decidedly a fish out of water. Yet overnight, she's mixing with film folk, pitching scripts, even experimenting with sex -- and discovering that the end of a marriage is not the end of everything. And before she's through, neither the City of Angels nor Maggie Walsh will ever be the same again.

A little long winded, but very entertaining.

So good I bought it twice. Figured I could part with my paperback version. I like Keyes and enjoy her work.

Chick lit, not bad, not my favorite from Keyes either. Maggie catches her husband in an affair and flees Ireland for Los Angeles, the home of another ex-pat, screenwriter wanna Emily. The story moves between "young woman in big city" chick lit fun and background on Maggie's life. Okay story, nice ending.

This book was a fun read. It was the perfect book for that getaway from life feeling.

A fun read. A great book to have on vacation, or poolside.

Excellent read! I got wrapped up, I laughed, I cried, I finished this one in 3 days.

Definately not about angels. A fun story of a woman who loses all of her comfortable tennis mom world and moves to Los Angles to be with a friend who shows her a "brand new" way of life. Light and warm.

Long. Typical chick-lit...but not as good of one I had hoped for.

Funny, sad but everything works out in the end. I really enjoyed this book
Cute story about being yourself. Has a great ending and couldn't put it down!
Angela T. (The cover suggests a beach read, and indeed, it's a perfect one! (I read it on my honeymoon in Tahiti last year.) Keyes does a good job getting the reader to care about the characters, even if sometimes their actions seem a bit too chick-lit contrived. This book got me interested in the series of books on the Walsh sisters. I've since read "Watermelon," the first one, but "Angels" is still my favorite.
