Best friends since the days when legwarmers were cool, Tara, Katherine, and Fintan have survived small-town ennui, big-city heartbreak, and endless giddy nights out on the town. But now that they've graduated to their slightly more serious thirties, only Fintan has what can honestly be called a "love life." With Tara struggling daily with her eternal diet -- and her dreadful, penny-pinching boyfriend -- and Katherine keeping her single existence as ordered as her drawer full of matching bra and panty sets, it seems they'll never locate the exit door out of the "last chance saloon."

But it's always when you are least ready for change that fate insists on one. And when catastrophe inevitably follows crisis, the lives of three best friends are sure to change in unexpected ways...and not necessarily for the worse. (cover blurb)

I've been wanting to check out Marian Keyes since joining the site, I can't wait to read this book. :-) Thank you for the RABCK.

I really enjoyed this book. At the beginning I didn't like it, I was annoyed with Tara for being with Thomas. But once I really got into it (around page 250 or so) it got good. Definetly would recommend this book.
Thanks Avanta for the chance to read a good book (even if it did take me a year to get to...)

Releasing into MarciNYC's Bazillion Books Box. Enjoy!

Overall I found this book to be enjoyable. I did think the characters were clichéd - the up-tight, thin, workaholic, "Ice Queen" friend; the over-weight, always dieting, in a bad relationship (with an a**, I might add) but afraid to be alone friend; and a gay in a steady relationship, drama queen, works in fashion friend - but maybe it wasn't that way when it was published. I do agree that it is hard to get into, I wasn't that into it until around page 150, then the characters started to grow on me. All the other secondary characters were great and I really thought they added to the story, especially when the main characters got on my nerves! :P I never really saw the whole point in having Lorcan in the book, seemed too contrived and lame. For such a long book, the end felt rushed although the epilogue was cute. It did still have its perks and humor thoughout the book that had me smiling.

Sent to -Jill- as part of the "More Chick Lit" Relay. Hope you like it! :)

Hello! The book got here a couple of weeks ago, but I forgot to make the journal entry...! I'm so sorry!
I found the book very funny, but didn't find the characters interesting! Like Faerymist said, they were a bit too clichéd!
