Book Review: Another top rate read from Marian Keyes
Summary: 5 Stars
Some writers (Cecelia Ahern springs to mind) start out promisingly and then gradually go off the boil. Keyes is not such a writer. I was hooked from Watermelon and she has been getting better and better since.
Much as "The Other Side of Story" and "Sushi for Beginners", this one is told in turn by three different characters, Lola, a stylist, Gracie, a journalist, and her twin sister Marcie, married and a mother and barely holding down a job in an estate agents.
The book opens with the announcement of Paddy de Courcy's engagement to Alicia, which is something of a surprise to Lola, his girlfriend of sixteen months and the plot unfolds from there.
I don't want to give away too much more for fear of spoiling the plot for Marian's fans, though, like all her books, even knowing the twists, I can see me re-reading this one repeatedly.
This book is darker in tone than it's predecesors but still ultimately uplifting. Just make sure you have a clear day free to read it, because if you are anything like me, you won't be able to put it down till you have finished it.
