about three friends who learn to deal with the dramas/changes going on in each other's lives...one is pregnant for the first time, one in a romance that doesn't look to have a future, and one meets someone from her past...the writing style reminding me of Cecelia Ahern...Cocktails for Three's author also wrote the Shopaholic series as Sophie Kinsella

A great bok about friendship, loyalty and secrets.

Same author as the Shopaholic Series, just penned under a different name. This book was a quick read, maybe not quite as funny as some of the books under the Sophie Kinsella name. IMHO, if you like the Shopaholic books, you will probably enjoy this book.

This was a good light read about friendships and how we test them.

Don't waste your time!

Okay, so as Madeleine Wickham, I mostly cannot stand Sophie Kinsella. This book is a perfect example of the distaste I have for the nomme de plume of Wickham. In Cocktails for Three, I just couldn't get over some of the immorality that was going on around which I wish I could explain more but there are just too many spoilers. As Sophie Kinsella, the author's work relies on the characters to figure themselves out even though they may be pideonholed into categories based on their outward appearance. As Madeleine Wickham, I feel like the characters are skewed and just don't make sense. They really have no moral baseline, especially some of the characters in this book, or carry on way too far, making the story unpalletable and just plain annoying. I cannot recommend this book to anyone who is searching for another book written by the author as Sophie Kinsella. I'm afraid to say that, in my opinion, the writing just isn't the same and isn't nearly as effective, meaningful, or even entertaining.

This wasn't bad. same author as shopaholic series...however, don't compare them! this one is no where near as good as shopaholic !! still it was a fun read and went by very fast! interesting story.

If you like Sophie Kinsella (which I do) you will like this book. Although not quite as funny or cute as the Shopaholic series, it's very similiar in the style that it is written. It reminded me a lot of Sex and the City (though this book is definetly NOT dirty at all) and I literally read it in 2 days. Very good.

A fun book that would translate well into a "chick flick." For the casual reader looking for something relatively lighthearted and easy to read, this is a great choice.

Fun summer read.

Predictable but reads pretty smoothly.....expected more drama.

Three ladies who make sure to have a meeting of the minds every month. The general theme of the book smells of Sex in the City, but for me that was an okay thing to go into as I loved the show (and plan to read the book). So I had some good hopes going into the book. I also was excited because so far I have enjoyed the Shopaholic series, and this is the same Author, different name.

Sadly the book did not live up to my hopes. While I love Sophie Kinsella but under the name Madeline Wickham she just falls flat. The book is not nearly as funny as the shopaholic series, and there just seems to be something else missing as well. The women in this book come off as just plain shallow to me. Where while our lovely Shopaholic has issues, she also shows she can be a good human. I just don’t see that in Three Cocktails, so in my humble opinion this is a big pass.

This was a fun book to read. Very entertaining. Highly recommend for a fast, easy read.

At the first of every month, when the office has reached its pinnacle of hysteria, Maggie, Roxanne, and Candice meet at London's swankiest bar for an evening of cocktails and gossip. Here, they chat about what's new at The Londoner, the glossy fashion magazine where they all work, and everything else that's going on in their lives. Or almost everything. Beneath the girl talk and the laughter, each of the three has a secret. And when a chance encounter at the cocktail bar sets in motion an extraordinary chain of events, each one will find her biggest secret revealed.

In Cocktails for Three, Madeleine Wickham combines her trademark humor with remarkable insight to create an edgy, romantic tale of secrets, strangers, and a splash of scandal.

Madeline Wickham is the author of several acclaimed novels. As Sophie Kinsella, she has written bestsellers including the Shopaholic series and The Undomestic Goddess.

This was such a wonderful story. A tale of 3 women friends and their methods of surviving and thriving in business, love, and life.

This author, Madeleine Wickham, is aka Sophie Kinsella. I just loved her "Can You Keep a Secret?"...and when a friend here at PBS raved about this book, I googled it up, and knew "laughing out loud" was exactly the choice for my next read! GREAT book!

Cute read...nothing special, but cute

Mine has a different cover. Roxanne: glamorous, self-confident, with a secret lover---a married man. Maggie: capable and high-achieving, until she finds the one thing she can't cope with---motherhood. Candice: honest, decent, or so she believes---until a ghost from her past turns up. At the first of every month, when the office has reached its pinnacle of hysteria, Maggie, Roxanne, and Candice meet at London's swankiest bar for an evening of cocktails and gossip. Beneath the girl talk and the laughter, each of the three has a secret. And when a chance encounter at the cocktail bar sets in motion an extraordinry chain of events, each one will find her biggest secret revealed.

Easy read about 3 friends.
