Synopsis

Madeleine Wickham, who writes the internationally bestselling Shopaholic series as Sophie Kinsella, has penned an irresistibly dishy and entertaining novel about three savvy young women and the secrets they share over monthly drinks.

Roxanne: glamorous, self-confident, with a secret lover--a married man

Maggie: capable and high-achieving, until she finds the one thing she can't cope with--motherhood

Candice: honest, decent, or so she believes--until a ghost from her past turns up

At the first of every month, when the office has reached its pinnacle of hysteria, Maggie, Roxanne, and Candice meet at London's swankiest bar for an evening of cocktails and gossip. Here, they chat about what's new at The Londoner, the glossy fashion magazine where they all work, and everything else that's going on in their lives. Or almost everything. Beneath the girl talk and the laughter, each of the three has a secret. And when a chance encounter at the cocktail bar sets in motion an extraordinary chain of events, each one will find their biggest secret revealed.

In Cocktails for Three, Madeleine Wickham combines her trademark humor with remarkable insight to create an edgy, romantic tale of secrets, strangers, and a splash of scandal.

Goodreads review by Andrea on July 12, 2017

This is probably the most painful chicklit book I've ever read. I love when Madeliene writes as Sophie Kinsella, so I thought I'd give this book a go. Big mistake. I've had it out from the library for over a month and I'm finally finished with it. This one was truly phoned in. Anyone that couldn't guess......more

Easy sunbed read - really enjoyed it although I do confess to preferring her writing under Sophie Kinsella name but this is probably her most successful book under the Madeline Wickham name for me. Four stars.......more

Goodreads review by Dafne on July 28, 2022

I libri della Kinsella rappresentano sempre una buona dose di leggerezza. Letti come intermezzo tra libri più seri e impegnativi, gli ho sempre trovati divertenti e ironici; le vite delle protagoniste e gli avvenimenti che si susseguono mi hanno sempre strappato molte risate, ma mi hanno fatto anche......more

Goodreads review by rebekah on September 01, 2007

I picked this one up from my friend Dani(new to goodreads) the snippet on the cover proclaims the book to be "deliciously wicked and witty and funny" or something to that effect. Dani gave me her review before lending it out, "it's not deliciously witty and funny but it's pretty good. " I must say,......more

Goodreads review by Donna on June 23, 2019

So—the reviews and blurbs printed on this book really misled me. For example, the book wasn’t, “deliciously funny...witty and wicked.” So, hoping for a funny book, I spent almost 100 pages disappointed. However, I stuck it out because the writing and story-telling are very good. When I finally reali......more
