Advantages: great believable story line

Disadvantages: sleepless nights!

This was my first Marian Keyes book and it won't be my last. I was very impressed by the easy going style of writing and the way that several stories were intertwined only coming together near the end of the book.
The book is basically about a group of people who have been friends since childhood and their lives as they approach 30. All still single with good jobs, they still worry about being left on the shelf and becoming bitter old spinsters. It describes a phase that many females go through as they get older when all their friends are getting married. Although they might be quite happy with their single lives, doubts do creep in.
I found this book extremely easy to relate to and I understood many of the problems that they faced. It was so easy to empathise with the characters and to understand what may seem to be irrational behaviour. Sometimes you wanted to scream at the characters to get a grip and leave the pig of a boyfriend!
The story line was incredibly gripping with cliffhangers on every page causing me many late nights reading. Marian Keyes pointed out one very important point with this book. No matter how far you run the past always has a nasty habit of catching up with you even in large cities such as London. Although there are 55 million people on this island, the amount of people that know you is probably a lot higher than you think! Be warned!
