Witty & Hilarious & Insightful

Marian Keyes is above and beyond my favourite contemporary author. She thoroughly hits the spot. This book is especially insightful of the publishing industry. Almost every angle is covered, from author to publisher; the book takes you through all processes, from writer's block to inspiration, to why the editors would possibly overlook and reject a clever, deserving book. Reading about Jojo, Lily, and Gemma's careers was absolutely brilliant. In retrospect, the plot of their love lives is a tiny bit weak and makes the book too long for its own good. I wasn't complaining while I was reading, though, because I didn't want it to end! She's so good, so witty, so funny, it by far makes up for any weak plot lines.

This was a fantastic read. I couldn't put it down, even took it work (which is highly unusual for me). The story lines kept me glued to the book. The characters were brilliantly described by Miriam Keyes, I am looking to read more of her books!

WHAT A FANTASTIC BOOK! Marian Keyes does it again, I have read nearly all this ladies books now bar a couple and I just don't get bored. This book switches around 3 characters who all have a connection and you don't lose track at all. You can't wait to read it!! I read this within a week and couldn't put it down.

My first Marian Keyes read!

I am so pleased to have found a new author for me! I loved this book, and enjoyed the three parts very much. As I progressed through it, I realised that I was enjoying all three characters equally (which is unusual) and didn't have any frustration as we moved from one to the other. Very clever, and I intend to work my way through the other books as soon as possible!

Loved it!!

Great girly reading but without being silly and trashy. A really great fun read that I would recommend to any other female. In interwoven story fo the lovelifes and careers of three very different women. Written with great wit - I was laughing out loud (not something I do very often when reading books).
