A rom com in a book. But sometimes that’s exactly what you want to read.

Great vacation book (too bad I wasn't on vacation this week). Entertaining and amusing but also a little rambling at points. I believe this was her first book though so I look forward to reading her other books to see how her writing evolves.

Cute summer beach read. I’m a sucker for the Irish voice.

4.0

Este es mi primer chick lit y he quedado bastante satisfecha. Y es que tenía algo de prejuicio por el género y este libro me lo ha curado. La narración es bastante ágil y apenas si decae sobre la mitad del libro para recuperarse rápidamente. La virtud de la escritora de este libro, radica en hacerlo cercano con su personaje principal, Clare, uno puede sentirse identificada con varias actitudes, sentimientos e inseguridades. Lo que más me gustó es como retrata estas situaciones cotidianas con una narrativa… con un humor cínico, muy bien puesto y empleado. También logra muy buenos personajes, entrañables, y en su carácter muy humanos, como la protagonista. Este primer libro, mi primer libro de Marian Keyes, me ha dejado con ganas de volver a leer a esta autora.

I liked it...though it took me until half the book to like it. I think I just had to get used to the writer's style. Once i got used to the neuroticness and neediness and the random ramblings of the main charachter, it was good. Parts were laugh out loud funny.
