I've already forgotten how funny Marian's books are. It was great to laugh out loud while reading. I also found the insight into the world of publishing very interesting. I really liked the characters and although I wouldn't have struggled so much in some of their situations, I found reading their way of coping useful. I liked the structure of dividing the book into parts by each character. And I've written this not only because I'm a nice person!

You know those waves of relief after seriously intense moments? That’s what it felt like reading this book.
Spaced out at times and at others was utterly hooked, but all in all it was a fun ride.

This book gagged me and infuriated me a little but i would definitely recommend. Very good read.

If you told me I would have liked this book, based on the plot (and that I do not in any way support infidelity), I would have laughed at you. But I could not put it down. Marian Keyes is such a gifted author! She weaves three (sometimes four) stories into one book that I have to finish as soon as I pick it up. She writes about real women, and her writing style makes me feel like they are my closest friends. Well written. I am now on a huge Marian Keyes kick!

This took me an age to read for some reason but I enjoyed it nonetheless.

I wasn’t so sure about this book. I couldn’t quite grasp everything that was going on.
I was quite disappointed with the ended felt a bit rushed.
