First time I read this book, I was too young, too dim witted and lack of spidey or spider senses. I caught the big revelation at the second half but I have to tell you: this quite emotional, ugly tear jerking, poignant story and my second favorite book of Walsh Sisters series (Angels is my least favorite one: even though it takes place in LA) I highly recommend it.

After reading this book I decided that I will probably never loan it out because I will want to read it over and over again.This is, by far, the most emotionally provocative book I've ever read. For about the first 25 chapters or so, I was convinced I knew what was going on, only to be hurled into an entire weekend of crying and page-turning. I couldn't stop crying, yet I couldn't put it down. This book made me realize so many things about myself, life, death, and what it really and truly means

I'd have to put this book in my list of top-ten favorites of all time! I picked up the book-on-tape version at the library and immediately fell in love with Marian Keyes. I had to get the print version to enjoy the story again, and I am not usually one to re-read books (because there are so many others on my "to-read" list)! After reading this most engaging novel, I felt compelled to read all of Keyes' other books, most of which were wonderful as well. This one remains my favorite of hers, howev...

Why I will never read this book. The verdict is in.As I wandered down to my local coffee shop the other morning, I couldn’t help noticing a little pile of books somebody had put on the footpath, part of a clearing up. A motley collection, if ever I saw one, was my professional assessment. Over the next couple of days the pile got smaller. Somebody took the book on ’Twenty-two ways to improve the feng shui of your lavatory.’ And ‘Things you can do with bonsai plants if you have a front loader.’ E...

I read the Marian Keyes novels completely out of order, having started with a copy of Watermelon my mum leant me when I was home on break. As a result, I perhaps saw the Sullivan girls mature in a slightly different order than other people who read the books in "order."Nevertheless, I was confused by this book, and one other, Rachel's Holiday. From the initial character development I got on Anna and Rachel, I always felt that it would have made far more sense to send Anna to rehab. This book w...

This book gave me p.s. i love you vibes (without the letters). It started off with the feeling off Anna’s husband had either cheated or left her. We find out Anna and Aidan had been in a horrific car accident resulting in Aidan’s death. I found the emails to be unnecessary and didn’t fit with Anna and Aidan’s story. Seemed really dragged out with alot of things that could have really been cut out. Also what was with the emails are her mum and sister illiterate and really don’t know how to spell?...

Kind of a weepy girl book. I had a hard time being convinced that their relationship was so amazing and am pretty sure that had this been a real couple, it would have seemed so great simply because she'd only been with the guy for a year and half - fully still within the infatuation stage. But still - the feelings are there regardless of the reasons for them, and it didn't keep me from emphasizing with her entirely. I also felt like Keyes tried a little too hard to be cutesy, especially in the f...

Anybody Out There was a book that started out really great. However, after a while, not only did it start to drag on, it also started to resemble a mess...a mildly intriguing mess, but a mess none the less. Now, I don't need much from a chick-lit to be happy, but in Anybody Out There, I just needed more.The Good: Part 1. Part 1 of Anybody Out There was the best out of the three parts in this book. The family dynamics, which was my favorite part of Anybody Out There, were more prominent in the fi...

A really good holiday read, with more grit than I had expected.

I mentally classify most novels into one of two broad categories: Literature or Crap. Within the Crap category there are several further levels. Books with negligible literary attributes (like no plot, no character development, poor writing, etc....ehh hmmm... Twilight) fall into the "Watching TV" category (because reading one of these books is the intellectual equivalent and takes the same amount of effort as sitting through a TV show). Marian Keyes' books definitely do not fall into the Litera...

My best friend recommended this and I have to thank her for it. A lovely book, I remember crying my eyes out so I often had to put it down, get a grip and then go on. Easily read even though I hadn't read the first 3 books of the Walsh Family series. If you enjoyed books by Ahern or Kinsella then you will love Keyes' style!

SPOILERS AHEAD - do not read if you plan to read this book!!I've had a sense of deja vu lately when I've been reading. One was with Remember Me? and the other one was with this great one by Marion Keyes. It's been ages since I read PS I Love You by Cecilia Ahern but I think the premise was similar - in this one, the main character has been seriously injured in a car crash that has killed her newlywed husband. She is in denial of this fact for the first third of the book but then comes to accept

This is the 6th book I've read by Marian Keyes and my ratings have been all over the place, from 2 stars to 4 stars. But this is by far my favorite. This had so much to the story and was such an readable story. While it was a long book it didn't take much time to flew through.

This wasn't quite as bad as I thought it would be, but it was not the kind of book I would ever have picked up on my own. This is because it is pretty bad. It's not that I dislike chicklit as a genre so much as that it is not a genre I will forgive occasional badness in so long as it presses my buttons, and this was just all sloppy writing and uninteresting characters. Characters is kinda overstating it; they were more names plus associated collections of tics.But as I said, it was not as bad as...

Definitely the worst of Marian Keyes that I have read so far (six). Not a bad book, just out of tune with me.In the beginning, I was gripped. I hadn't any idea about a plot, so when I understood what 'event' was the core of the story I was really sad (and even more hopeful about the book). I remember how phenomenal was On Second Thought by Kristan Higgins (it is one of my favourite novels).But it started to drag. I was so not interested in Anna's professional life. Then, there was Helen - what f...
