Understand what other reviewers are saying, but URGE you to give it a chance some small SPOILERS, but nothing you couldn't discern by reading the official review The main criticism levelled at this book seems to be that it is depressing, upsetting, and "un-Marianlike". Well, guess what, domestic violence is a depressing and upsetting subject, particularly for those who have suffered it.

Genius Another fantastis book by Marian! She is an amazing writer, I have bought all the books she has ever written, and I`m waiting unpatiently for the next one, which is "under construction" :) I read this book in two days, it`s about 5-600 pages I think, but you just can`t put it down!!
very disappointing This is not at all what I've expected from Marian Keyes. It is very upsetting and it is not suitable for reading before you go to bed. Out of the 4 women there's 1 she barely talks about, 1 I don't really like, 1 that is a terrible read, so leaves only 1 true 'Marian Keyes'-character.
If you like to read about 'real' problems, you might like it, but if you're just looking for another easy read, better go for something else!
Weird Dull, depressing, extremely heavy going. Not remotely sexy or romantic and without a hero-unless you count the cross-dresser. Even the baddie wasn't properly punished, so there was no satisfying conclusion. The writing style was irritating but I kept reading on in the hope that the story would finally catch my imagination and come to life. Sadly, it never did
