Book Description

Life is a circle, and what goes around, comes around. Just ask a trio of unforgettable women in Marian Keyes's enchanting new novel ...

Energetic, ambitious, and sexy, literary agent Jojo Harvey combines Jessica Rabbit's body with a mind like a steel trap. As if watching her back while on the corporate ladder and making million-dollar deals wasn't difficult enough, Jojo's having a relationship with her boss. Her married boss.

Tall, slender, and blond, bestselling author Lily Wright, one of Jojo's clients, worries about bad karma and the second novel she can't seem to write but must deliver -- she's already spent the advance. Anton, the Love of Her Life, persuaded her to buy their dream house.

Events organizer extraordinaire Gemma Hogan was best friends with Lily -- until the willowy blonde stole Anton, a.k.a. the Love of Her Life. Juggling the demands of her newly separated (and desperately needy) mom, Gemma's social life is flatlining -- a mortifying situation that makes for hilarious e-mails to a friend. Tales so funny, they come to the attention of top literary agent Jojo Harvey, who takes Gemma on as a client ...

Written in the charming and chatty voice that has become Marian Keyes's signature style, this hilarious and heartwarming new novel proves there are three sides to every story ... especially in the world of publishing!

currently reading this one...

This one is taking f-o-r-e-v-e-r to finish... Just not exactly what I expected... it's about three women and jumps from one to the other without finishing the story of the first one... just when I get interested in what's going on in Gemma's life, the author jumps to Lily... all the characters are intertwined... two writers and their agent... but just not very well written?!?! or just something wrong that I can't get through this one...

Love the COVER on this book, that's what caught my eye at the book sale.

Hmm. You were going to release it at that meetup, yet somehow I got it. Huh. In any case, ditto what you said -- just when I get interested in one, it skips to another. Oh well. Didn't finish it, going to leave it at my doctor's office. Really, I'm going to remember to make release notes. You believe that, right? ;)
