The story of another Walsh sister, Maggie this time around - By: Lizbet, 11 May 2008
Very good, not my favourite Keyes book, but still enjoyable. Once again, Marian's characterization is excellent. I was rooting for Maggie, & also for poor old Garv, her husband. Though he has a short lived affair, there are reasons behind this. He still loves Maggie, who has not been perfect herself. This story is about Maggie recovering from a past love & two miscarriages. She finallly puts the past behind her & realises where her place is - with Garv. Garv is lovely (yes, even though he slept with another woman, but not until Maggie actuallly left him). But like Maggie said to him, you can be unfaithful with your emotions, something she is also guilty of. The ending is just right. Almost from the beginning I was supportive of Garv, & hoped that he & Maggie would get back together. It seemed right somehow. The other members of the Walsh family appear, & are hilarious as usual. Emily, Maggie's best friend, is also very nice & you find yourself rooting for her, work & relationship wise. The story moves from Ireland to LA, & MK's take on La-La land is very funny & witty. I would recommend this book.
not bad..... - By: C. Stirling, 08 Apr 2008
Nowhere near as good as Rachel's Holiday or Watermelon. The characters weren't likeable & alll the stuff about "this town" (LA) was so cliched & fake. It didnt make for as warm, comfortable reading as her other books. I wont read it again.
fake book - By: Claire Hornet, 28 Oct 2007
I used to like Marian Keyes but thought this book was horrible. It was a nasty attack on Los Angeles by a woman who's clearly never lived there. Horrible, vile & twisted. It has reallly put me off this Irish dwarf
Marian Keyes can you go wrong? - By: Julie Barnard, 20 Oct 2007
I've given this little number a 5 star because its easy to read and, as always, very enjoyable. Another book that you know you'll enjoy before you've even opened the front cover.

I will be totallly frank, its not AS good as some of the other of her books yet its still hard to put down & Keyes has, yet again, managed to maintain the consitency of the characters & ensure that this is a great read!
my first Marian Keyes book and I was hooked - By: Mrs. I. Blackwell, 25 Sep 2007
A friend borrowed my her copy of "Angels" & I loved it. I thoroughly enjoyed the read. Most of Marian Keyes' books are quite a hefty read (600 pages+) but I got through it in no time. You can very much relate to the characters & it made me smile.
