Since I'm 62 years old, Ms. Keyes is obviously not writing to me or my contemporaries in any of her novels. But every single one of her books makes me feel as if she wrote it just for me! Yes, she certainly is that good! And this book is no exception! In some ways, I think there is a little bit of Lucy in all of us. Her "story" is a true triumph! Please - don't just read this book - read everything this wonderful author has written because she has alot to say - and she says it well!

This is not my favorite book by Marian Keyes but it is a good read nonetheless. It is definitely engaging and you will zip right through it. Lucy Sullivan is a charming, if slightly transparent, main character.

Another of Marian Keyes' great books about the adventures of very funny women in Ireland. Very funny chick-lit.

Formulaic (there are two guys that Lucy doesn't like at the beginning of the book, and you just know she'll end up with one of them), but I still couldn't put this book down. I read it all in one day, even though it's 610 pages. Lucy & her friends are the kind of people I'd love to drink with after work.

From Publishers Weekly
Lucy Sullivan, the eponymous heroine of Irish writer Keyes's second offbeat romantic comedy to be published in the U.S. (after Watermelon), fancies herself simultaneously miserable and happy. A 26-year-old Londoner, Lucy is the kind of woman who thinks that any man who's decent to her must be Mr. Wrong. But when she visits a fortune-teller with a trio of mismatched friends, a marriage is predicted for the near future. When the fortune-teller's prophecies for the other three come true in peculiar ways, even disbelieving, boyfriendless Lucy begins to suspect that, somehow, wedding bells will ring for her. The identity of the lucky man will come as no surprise, though Lucy remains oblivious until the very end, but there are many eligible bachelors on the scene, among them Gus, Lucy's sexy but unreliable new lover; Daniel, her oldest friend; Chuck, a handsome American; and Adrian, the video shop man. The attendant mayhem includes drunken meals at ethnic restaurants, flamenco dancing accidents, blind dates gone wrong and many delicious confessions and revelations. As Lucy says, "I was still at that stage in my life when I thought that weekdays were for recovering from the weekend," but more often than not, her weekdays are as full of exhausting fun as her weekends. Surprisingly for a comic novel, the book also takes on the serious themes of clinical depression and alcoholism, handling both with sensitivity and humor. Throughout, the effervescent narrative is fueled by witty repartee; though its outcome may be predictable, its sentiments are heartfelt, and its progress is sprightly. Fans of Bridget Jones will be delighted.

fun and quick

This was my first Marian Keyes read and I was not disappointed. Although predictable at times, you still want to keep reading so that you can confirm your suspicions. I then went on to read Sushi for Begginers and that too was great.

A very long book. It is evident in the beginning (atleast it was to me) who Lucy was going to end up with. The book seemed to drag on and on.

This is another classic Marian Keyes. Very long, but hard to put down. There were times that I got so angry at the main character, but I think I can understand her issues! Definately a good read!

very funny

Great read. I liked it cause it took a little longer to read than most novels...610 pages. The story was good and the character developmnent was great. I highly recommend this funny read. Great book!

Great chic lit!

My first in my Marian Keyes addiction. I'm constantly caught up and can't wait for the next one...

Another fun read from chick lit queen Marion Keyes.
