This Charming Man by Marian Keyes
3.0
More like 3 1/2 stars.
563 pages was way too much. This story could've been told in 200 fewer pages and been just as good, if not better. The subplot of Lola and the cross-dressers didn't add much to the story, and I found myself skimming through those pages. The Lola sections, particularly in the beginning of the book, annoyed me because of the "Bridget Jones-ish" voice Keyes wrote Lola's story in.
I rated this 4 stars instead of 3 because I really liked the ending. Keyes is an interesting storyteller. I've enjoyed all of her books. This isn't the best of the bunch, though.
