This funny, heartwarming, and sharply written story of three girls' lives and their search for love, success, and happiness in Dublin is about what happens when one lets things bubble under the surface for too long--and sooner or later they boil over.
From The Publisher:
Lisa Edwards
This Prada-wearing magazine editor thinks her life is over when her "fabulous" new job turns out to be a deportation to Dublin to launch Colleen magazine. The only saving grace is that her friends aren't there to witness her downward spiral. Might her new boss, the disheveled and moody Jack Devine, save her from a fate worse than hell?
Ashling Kennedy
Ashling, Colleen's assistant editor, is an award-winning worrier, increasingly aware that something fundamental is missing from her life -- apart from a boyfriend and a waistline.
Clodagh "Princess" Kelly
Ashling's best friend, Clodagh, lives the domestic dream in a suburban castle. So why, lately, has she had the recurring urge to kiss a frog -- or sleep with a frog, if truth be told? As these three women search for love, success, and happiness, they will discover that if you let things simmer under the surface for too long, sooner or later they'll boil over.

A great book by Marian Keyes! You never quite know where Marian Keyes is going to take each character and what sort of ending she's going to give them. It's great reading about a romance that is completly unexpected at the start of the book and watching how it develops along the way.
There are some characters in this book that I couldn't get into and had to skim over their parts but the rest of the book really made up for it. This one of my favourite Marian Keyes books.
This is a typical Marian Keyes book, funny, sad and addictive. Whilst this is not my favourite book that Keyes has written it has all of the qualities that make me go back for more.
The characters in this book are both strong and vulnerable, making you like them, love them and even hate them! I love the fact that every novel she writes there is a character that I can so easily relate to, understanding their emotions.
The Irish humour in this book will have you in hysterics but there is always a serious situation in her books with a message along the way - this one is no exception with an underlying story about homeless people and their plight.
This book is definitely one of my favourite Marian Keyes books. Light hearted, funny and romantic. This book will have you laughing, crying and cringing right along with the characters. Couldn’t put it down right to the end. Would definitely recommend to people who are looking to relax with a book and a drink in the bath.
This book is definitely my favourite Marian Keyes book! The characters are awesome and the way they are all connected is great. There are moments that make you laugh out loud. There's a good twist in the storyline as well which always makes a book better! I highly recommend it!!!
This is my favourite Marian Keyes book! I might be a bit biased in that I want to get into the magazine industry however it still has that Keyes charm. She is a talented funny writer and the chick lit queen apparently and in this book she definatley lives up to those expecations. If you havent yet read Keyes i suggest you but one of her books right now!!!!
A great heart-warming read. Marian Keyes has an amazing ability to make you emphasise with her characters and the characters in this book are no exception. Three different women are the focus of this tale, whose stories are told with humour and insight, with some romance thrown in for good measure - a real delight!
