MARIAN KEYES'S heroines are heading for trouble. Top London literary agent, Jojo Harvey, has fallen in love with her married boss. Now the ruthless sex-bomb spends her weekends waiting by the phone.
Meanwhile, Lily Wright has writer's block, a hefty mortgage and a guilt complex bigger than her bottom. Things are no easier for Lily's friend Gemma, stuck in Dublin with a depressed mother, a transitional toyboy and a broken heart. Keyes weaves their stories together with characteristic chutzpah, producing a mammoth novel with a nicely bitchy take on the literary scene. Along with the obligatory sex, shopping, and B-list celebs, she includes some fearsome bidding wars and embarrassingly compelling photo shoots. There's also some sneaky satire aimed at broadsheet reviewers and people who leave cruel feedback on Amazon.
Fans of Keyes's previous works, from Sushi For Beginners to Rachel's Holiday, won't be disappointed. The Other Side Of The Story is wildly funny, romantic and nearly impossible to put down.
Elbow your way to the front of the queue to get a copy. After all, as Jojo puts it, `Nice girls finish last'.
