It’s been a while since I’ve read a Marian Keyes book and I was less than halfway through this one when I wondered why the hell that was. I adored the fast-paced, conversational style of the story that whips you up into a whirl of intrigue, compassion and amusement, all in equal measure. I had particular feels for the character of Cara and her journey through the hell hole that is bulimia but was completely entranced by the way she didn’t even know that she was in its grips. All of the other characters are just as intriguing, flawed and wonderfully human - I was rooting for every single one of them (except Liam). This book was wonderful and I’m off to read another one. Right now.

Slow and confusing at the start with so many characters, but eventually you start to care about them, enough to be infuriated by some of their self-destructive decisions and struggles.

I had an ebook and didn't realize how massive this book was (650 pages!!). I thought I was at least halfway in only to find I was at 27%... So yes, slow beginning but it definitely picks up!

It took me so long to finish this book because it isn’t what I usually read. I unfortunately didn’t enjoy it that much and guessed the whole plot a third of the way through.
