 Horrid book September 25, 2008
1 out of 5 found this review helpful
Deeply upsetting, deeply depressing. Absolutely hateful book. I too have only been married to my dream man for a short amount of time, and this book will give me nightmares for a time to come. It's one of the worst things I can think of come true and described in detail for hundreds of pages. Burning is too good for this - this horror.
 Marian Keyes is amazing. September 13, 2008

I don't bother to read the blurb on the back of Marian Keyes' books anymore because I know that I will enjoy it. So I didn't even have a clue what this one was going to be about. Amazing. This story is so cleverly written, and it's true what has been said about laughing out loud and crying. It's also true that is does start a bit slow but that is only because we are meant to be wondering what has happened. The story really touched me and I felt I really got to know (and like) the characters. It's a subject very close to my heart and I felt she handled it very sensitively. My copy is now doing the rounds at work and everyone is saying the same thing: they laughed, they cried, they couldn't put it down.

Brilliant book, couldn't put it down, but had to in places to wipe away the tears at the sad parts! Compulsive reading.

I have read most of Marian Keyes books, but this was definitely my favourite so far.
Fantastically written and a fabulous storyline. I laughed and cried. The characters are so believable that you just want to know more about them. I was gutted when I finished this book. Brilliant chic literature without being too predictable and fluffy.
