I got this book free in a contest from Penguin books. It was an interesting read, I liked how it told the story from 4 different womens' viewpoints. The ending was not what I expected when I first started reading the book but I do like how the author tied the story together in the end. Even though it was close to 900 pages, it was a pretty quick read, I may even pick up some other Marian Keyes books in the future.
