Hard-nosed, bitch-goddess London fashion editor Lisa Edwards was certain her "fabulous"-promotion would mean more A-list parties, society page photos, and jet-setting jaunts to the fall collections. Instead, she's being deported, Prada wardrobe and all, to supremely un-chic Dublin to launch Colleen magazine. Her assistant editor, over-organized world-class worrier Ashling Kennedy, however, is thrilled with her new job ... until she discovers it comes with a very high price tag: Lisa Edwards. And then there's Ashling's oldest, dearest chum, Clodagh "Princess" Kelly, who seems to have achieved true happily-ever- after suburban fairy tale bliss—but lately has this irresistible urge to kiss a frog. The chances of three such diverse, equally unsatisfied women bonding would be remote anywhere except in staid Dublin town, "the magazine version of Siberia." And once they do, they're going to start shaking things up—in print and out of it--especially when Colleen's rumpled, moody, wickedly attractive head honcho Jack Devine is tossed into the mix.

Thanks for the book!

Blurb or a synopsis - A book about a series of characters working for a start up magazine in Ireland. The two main characters are Lisa, who becomes the editor of this magazine (Colleen), is a bitch and a tyrant to work for and is a perfectionist.She's usually never popular by her co-workers and doesn't have many friends. Lisa is going through a separation from her husband Oliver.Ashling, on the other hand,is very insecure and has just been fired from another magazine.She on the other hand has her set of friends(Joy, Ted and best friend Clodaugh) and she's just broken up with boyfriend Phelim. Between the two of them,tons of characters are introduced, including a bum named Boo and a comedian named Marcus.

This is my second book by Keyes and again, I am not totally enthused. I do not know why she is so popular. She does have a knack for writing funny characters, but I don't think she's good at making the come together. I didn't feel that some of the actions of these characters were "logical" and by the end of the book,I can say i loved the characters as individuals, but as a book I couldn't rate it more than a 3/5.Something about it left me dissatisfied. this is not to say I won't be reading other books by Keyes.I have on my shelves at least 3 more of them!Too many have told me how wonderful she is, so I am not giving up her on.

i'm sending this off to a book buddy.

Through the mail, and want to read and release it when done.
