Book Description:

Ever since legwarmers were cool, best friends Tara, Katherine, and Fintan have survived small-town ennui, big-city heartbreak, and endless giddy nights out on the town. But now that they've graduated to their slightly more serious thirties, only Fintan has what can honestly be called a "love life." With Tara struggling daily with her eternal diet -- and her dreadful, penny-pinching boyfriend -- and Katherine keeping her single existence as organized as her drawer full of matching bra and panty sets, it seems they'll never locate the exit door out of the "last chance saloon."

But it's always when you are least ready for change that fate insists on one. And when catastrophe inevitably follows crisis, the lives of three best friends are sure to change in unexpected ways ... and not necessarily for the worse.

You devoured the hilarious antics of Claire in Watermelon.
You laughed 'til you cried in Lucy Sullivan Is Getting Married.
You took a vacation gone mad in Rachel's Holiday.
You flew away with Margaret -- good girl gone bad -- in Angels.
You got a peek inside the cutthroat world of women's fashion magazines in Sushi for Beginners.

Now, raise your glass to Tara, Katherine, and Fintan in Last Chance Saloon.

It took me a few chapters to really get into this book, but once I did I couldn't put it down. It was very entertaining - funny at points, sad at others. I was a little disappointed in the ending, though. Everything was wrapped up nicely, but it all happened within one or two chapters. It was almost to abrupt of an ending.

I wasn't too impressed with this one. I found it hard to get into because I just didn't care too much for the characters.

This was the book the started my love affair with all books by Marian Keyes. If you are looking for fun chick lit, for the beach or an afternoon cup of coffee, her books hit the spot.

I kept reading how good this book was so I finally got it. I ended up being very dissapointed. Tara is the only character that gives life to this book but she still couldn't carry it. The story was too tangled and blah and Katherine is one of the worst characters I have came across in my reading. I also hate books that end in very neat and tidy in less than a chapter.

Actually my favorite so far from this author. It's story and characters seemed deeper to me; you delve into their thoughts and feelings and issues from the past, but in a sometimes hilarious and/or painful way. I loved the underwear drawer, the boys, and the toast!

Hilarious AND heartwarming all at the same time! Makes me feel like my life isn't so bad! LOL

Another enjoyable read in Keyes' chatty, signature style. Not as predictable as you may think.

Marian Keyes is definitely one of my favorite authors. The characters in here all seem so real. Easy and quick read.

My favorite author - read all her books!

An early entry from an author who never disappoints. If you've read and loved even one, you will love this one as well.

Great book. Often funny; reminds you of your own experiences in love and relationships. Your hopes for the characters spur you to read faster and race to the conclusion.
