Watermelon - Marian Keyes ... birth of their first child – I mean, if he thought it was going to upset him that much he should have just stayed at home – but to rub salt into the episiotomy, he didn’t even have the decency to leave her for someone skinny!He’s just absconded, leaving Claire with a newborn baby, a broken heart, two extra stone and an …er…birth canal ten times its normal size.In the absence of any better offers, Claire goes home to her family. To her beautiful sister Helen, her soap-watching mother, her bewildered father. And in a story that’s both hilarious and bitter-sweet, Claire just gets better.A lot better.In fact so much better that when James slithers back into her life he’s in for a bit of a surprise.

Marian Keyes is at the top of her game, and I count her among my favourite authors. She is definitely one of the best writers in the word of 'chick lit' - she writes consistently good, cosy novels that are perfect for reading whenever you want a light-hearted, fluffy book, whether it's snuggled up in bed or lying on a beach! Some of her books are better than others, but even the poorer ones, such as Lucy Sullivan Is Getting Married, are far better than other books of the same genre! Watermelon and Lucy Sullivan have been made into feature-length dramas from ITV but they were nothing ... Read the complete review

I never used to be open to trying new authors, but a few weeks ago, I was sent the new Marian Keyes book to review for a website. It was the first Keyes book I had read, and I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. So when it came to choosing my next book from my ever-growing pile, I decided I'd try another Marian Keyes book while I was in the mood, and that book turned out to be Watermelon. So, to the story. Claire Webster is ecstatically happy after giving birth to her first child, a daughter with husband James. However, her dream is shattered when he announced hours after the birth that he's leaving her for another woman. Claire's in shock and flees ... Read the complete review

I've just finished my final year of a degree so reading for pleasure is but a distant memory. I bought several books after my birthday in February which have been sitting on my bookshelf calling to me to be read throghout my revision period. I didn't give in to temptation. Now my exams are over I decided to pick one of them up and become the bookworm that I had once been. Watermelon screamed out to be bought in the shop. Its vibrant cover lured me in. I read the synopsis onthe back cover and decided i would give it a whirl. I had never read anything my Marian Keyes before so I didn't know what to expect... Watermelon is a brilliant ...

Watermelon is the first book by Marian Keyes the author of the now famous "Lucy Sullivan is getting married" (oh is she really I thought!). Having read several of Keyes books, Watermelon is definitely my favourite so far. The story centres on Claire, the proud new mother of newly born Kate. However, things aren't quite going to plan. As Claire recovers after giving birth, James, the not so proud father and husband, announces that he is leaving her - all this without even laying eyes on his new daughter! Nasty insensitive pig from hell you may think and you would be right! What does a girl do when her husband abandons her and leaves her ... Read the complete review

I have read Watermelon by Marian Keyes twice - once before becoming a mother and once after and I can say having been through childbirth and the trials of bringing up a new born baby that Keyes' observations on that front are spot on. To back track slightly. I am not usually a fan of chick-lit. I would hate to be seen as a literary snob but I do tend to find there is little real substance to get my teeth into and the characters are far too two-dimensional, the plot weak and so on but I found that Marian Keyes' books, whilst from the chick-lit genre, have far more to offer and Watermelon is my favourite of her novels by far. The story follows Claire who has just ... Read the complete review
