This is best-selling Irish author Marian Keyes' seventh novel and, like the others, it's fast-paced and entertaining--and more than 500 pages long, so whether you're spending a week in Cancun or a long weekend closer by, it'll keep you occupied for hours.
As she does in her other books, Keyes aims her sarcasm and wit at the personal and professional lives of women. In this case, readers get a look inside the publishing world, which includes ambitious literary agent and former cop, Jojo; a boyfriend-stealing author, Lily, who purges her guilt by writing a sappy best seller; and Gemma, a Dublin-based party planner who moves in with Mom after Dad leaves for his young secretary.The lives of all three intersect and along the way, readers will be treated to an entertaining array of e-mails, life crises, affairs and workplace scenarios reminiscent of real life.
