Synopsis

Prada-wearing magazine editor Lisa Edwards thinks her life is over when her 'fabulous' new job turns out to be deportation to Dublin, launching Colleen magazine. No more jet-setting to the Fall Collections? No more fabulous parties and photos in the society pages? The only saving grace is that her friends aren't there to witness her downward spiral. Might her new boss, the disheveled and moody Jack Devine, save her from a fate worse than hell?Ashling Kennedy, Colleen's assistant editor, is an award–winning worrier, increasingly aware that something fundamental is missing from her life -- apart from a boyfriend and a waistline. And then there's her closest, oldest friend Clodagh 'Princess' Kelly, who is apparently living the domestic dream in a suburban castle. So why, lately, has Clodagh had a recurring urge to kiss a frog -- sleep with a frog, if truth be told?

I really like this author and her writing style. This book really worked for me. Centered around the fictional Colleen Magazine this zooms in on the lives of three women. Five stars.......more

Goodreads review by Nick on July 01, 2017

Now, I've quite like Marian Keyes as a person when I've seen her on telly, I quite enjoyed 'Rachel's Holiday' when I read it a good few years ago, and I don't mind the odd book in the chick-lit/lad-lit genre. This, alas, was a little disappointing and more of a two and a half than a three and a half......more

Goodreads review by Mia on September 17, 2023

No me parece descabellado afirmar que Marian Keyes es la escritora más infravalorada de nuestra época. Ya en los 2000, esta mujer escribía sobre depresión, TCAs, maternidad, relaciones tóxicas y relaciones sanas, adicciones y, sobre todo, esperanza. Cuando hablar de todo este tipo de cosas aún no er......more
