Book Reviews of Sushi for Beginners: A Novel

Book Review: Another great read from Marian Keyes!!!!
Summary: 4 Stars

If you like her other books, you'll probably like this one too. It's very similiar in feel to Last-Chance Saloon. Again, it's about several major characters and not in the first person. There's Lisa, the bitchy magazine editor(I know you were supposed to like her by the end of the book, but she was too mean for me to feel she deserved pity!), Ashling the very-organized "nice" girl who works for Lisa, and Clodagh, Ashling's best friend. There's a host of supporting characters who are just great, too.

Most of the book focuses on relationships and what the characters want out of them and how they react to what they are getting. Lisa's in the process of a divorce, Clodagh is unhappily married, and Ashling convinces herself to like a guy she didn't at first...there's a very interesting twist near the end of the book that also delves into women's friendships which I found interesting.

Overall, I didn't like the book as much as Watermelon(still my favorite!) but it's a nice, long engrossing read and I recommend it to anyone who liked Last-Chance Saloon.
