Bought it today, let's see when I'll be able to read it!

From Publishers Weekly
Ever wondered what the Other Woman was thinking as she stole your man? Couldn't bear to ask an old best friend if she'd ever forgiven you for absconding with her boyfriend? Itched to be a fly on your agent's office wall as she ignored your calls? Here's voyeurism at its playful, charming finest in Keyes's latest (after Sushi for Beginners; Under the Duvet; etc.). Gemma Hogan is living a lovely carefree life in Dublin when her father walks out on her mother, and she is summoned to play mom to her mom. But the magic of e-mail allows her to vent her woes to a friend in Seattle, who finds them hilarious enough to send to a top London agent, JoJo Harvey. JoJo, who is half Jessica Rabbit and half corporate powerhouse, likes Gemma's work but has bigger fish to fry-she is having a tormented affair with her married boss; her slimy co-worker is trying to beat her out for a coveted partner position; and her famed client Lily Wright, who wrote a gorgeous little cheerful fable that sold hundreds of thousands of copies, can't seem to get it together to write another book. Lily, in turn, is struggling with young motherhood, catastrophic finances and the paralyzing guilt of stealing her now-husband Anton from her former best friend, one Gemma Hogan. Keyes skillfully ties her interlocking plots together with grace and humor, and explores three disparate but gloriously real women's lives. It's a credit to Keyes that although she never exactly breaks new ground, she always serves up funny, heartwarming, believable fiction.

I really loved this book, Marian Keyes still hasn't disappointed me!

Written in both first and third person, the story is related from the point of view of three different women who are related in one way or another, so you get to see "the other side of the story" which is quite interesting. Marian Keyes write in a realistic way -obviously incorporating her personal experiences. For example, I remember reading an occasion of a "disastrous" book signing in "Under the duvet" just as she describes it in this book.

The book made me laugh, but in more occasions it made me cry. I just couldn't put it down, waiting to see how the story would continue -and although some scenes were to expected, in many occasions I was surprised by the reactions and decisions of the protagonists. For me the books that move me to that extent are successful. I'm looking forward to reading the rest of Keyes' books that I haven't read yet.

I mailed the book today to sunlightbub as part of a relay. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Thanks Asterw..Looks like a good read. I don't think I've read anything by Keyes before, but she keeps popping up on British TV lately and seems really funny and warm..Hope this is reflected in her books!

Listening to this one now so making this copy available

Enjoyable book - darker than I'd expected..

This arrived in the Swiss alps today... It will queue a bit behind another ring but it looks like a quick read once I get to it. Thanks so much for sending.

Well, I had quite a hard time getting into this because I found the first section so irritating. I did not like whiney Gemma nor her mother... There seemed to be no mitigating circumstances. Things picked up when I got to the section on Jojo, and gradually even Gemma became more bearable. I did find myself mulling their various situations over and wondering about the fate of some of the other characters, so I guess it was better than I realized. My first book by this author - I do have at least one more on my TBR pile so I I'll give her another try, otherwise I am not bowled over.
I am nonetheless glad to have had the chance to read this - thank you for making it available and sending.
(I've Pmed for the next in line - a bit disappointed to realize it will be outside of Europe, but I guess it wasn't possible to accommodate my request to only ship within Europe.)

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:

Now on its way to the States. Enjoy! Thanks again for making this available.

Thanks for sharing:) I will get to this book as soon as I can!! Thanks again:)

Thanks so much for being so very patient with me while I tried to read as fast as I could so I could get this book sent back out. I can not tell you how much I appreciate your patience and understanding about taking longer to read your book. I very much enjoyed reading this story. I felt it was very interesting how two friends, torn apart because of one's betrayal, were able in the end to put all the tough stuff behind them, and end up being civil with each other at the end. I am not so sure that I would be able to do the same. But like the saying goes "you never know until you have walked a day in someone elses shoes. Again I thank you. Please PM me and let me know who follows me or who to send this book to and I will get it in the mail ASAP:) S

I just wanted to thank you yet again for being patient and understanding the whole time I had your book:) I read it and I thought it to be a good book. I love Marian Keyes books:) I have sent this book on to Rrrcaron this afternoon. If there is ever something I can help you out with Please just let me know. You will never know after your telling me to take my time did for me:) I was able to enjoy the read and not feel the burden of smushing as fast as I could the story. I think when you are in a rush it feels as though you miss things! Thanks again:)

Thanks for sharing:)

What a fun read this was! I got so involved with Gemma, Lily, and Jojo's lives. I almost hated to see it end. I was pleased with how it all wrapped up. Thanks for sharing,
