I enjoyed this book surprisingly! I initially borrowed it looking for a lighthearted rom-com type of book and it definitely delivered on that front. But as you read more you realize it also covers such important social issues like domestic…

I love Marian Keyes, and I was fascinated with the way in which she painted the portrait of a man who wasn't what he appeared. The approach she took was to tell three different womens' stories of their relationship with the same man. If…

Don't be fooled by this Harlequin Romance sounding title. This book is about abuse, and how seemingly charming the men who abuse women can be. It is well written and worth the read.

I read 100 pages and stopped. Nothing about this book grabbed my attention. The Author was recommended to me but this book did not make me a fan.

I have to admit I wanted to put the book down a few times. I did not want to keep on reading about this 'so called chaming man' but I decided to see the book to the end and I am glad I did. This is really the story of the woman who had…

I love Marian Keyes and this was definitely one of her best. Loved the suspense aspect of it; kept me guessing.

Delightful. A great story about relationships, women, politicans and human connectedness. But mostly as the character evolve we learn that

Very good for Marian Keyes - I usually read her stuff when I need a light "chick lit" book, this one was her best I think
