All of my books are different," she has said, "but share a common theme of people who are in the Bad Place, and who achieve some form of redemption. Maggie has been married for many years and learns through chocolates that her husband is cheating on her. Unlike many chick-lit type books that portray the heroine’s ex as wholly unlikable, Garv comes across as a sweet, real man who has simply made some mistakes in his life. First it seemed like in the book Maggie's and Garv's marriage broke down because they were simply tired of each other or something as shallow, but during the book it turned out there was a lot more to it. The earlier two Walsh sister novels didn't really have stand-out plots, but to be fair, they didn't need stand-out plots.

Following the break-up of her nine year marriage to Garv, Dublin resident Maggie Walsh jets off to Los Angeles to spend some time with her friend Emily O'Keeffe. In addition to her fifteen previous novels, Marian has also written two collections of journalism, upon which hit BBC Radio 4 show Between Ourselves was based.Es lenta hasta un punto exasperante, a veces introspectiva de un modo tremendamente tedioso, pero te engancha como una superproducción hollywoodense de la casa Marvel cuando ni tiene efectos especiales ni un ritmo vertiginoso. But is this really a once-in-a-lifetime journey of self-discovery, or is she simply running away from married life? They are on the verge of breaking up as they have barely spoken to each other for months and seem to have some underlying problems that we don’t know about until later on in the book. Maggie has a rather sad back-story, which emerges in the latter part of the novel, and which adds poignancy to her situation with the failure of her marriage.

But despite Keyes's talent, the romance structure, with its obligatory happy ending, always triumphs like an addiction, pulling her back into the realm of airport fiction and the mass market. Marian Keyes seems to succeed the most with her novels when she focuses on one of the Walsh sisters from Ireland. Nothing happens, nothing happens, nothing happens for FAR too long, mostly because the main character doesn't want anything, so she's not trying to do anything, so you get endless descriptions of her pointless days of hanging out.Unfortunately I was bored, and was wondering what the clan were going to get up to, but to me, it seems they didn't get up to much!
