Goodreads: Life is a circle, and what goes around, comes around. Just ask a trio of unforgettable women in Marian Keyes enchanting new novel . . .Written in the charming and chatty voice that has become Marian Keyes's signature style, this hilarious and heartwarming new novel proves there are three sides to every story . . . especially in the world of publishing!
Kritters Thoughts: Well at the beginning of this book, I was nervous I wasn't going to finish the over 600 page book that sat on my nightstand. Then it switched to another character's point of view.
The first one - Gemma - was way too whiny to start the book off. I know the order of the characters mattered due to the unveiling of the story, but I was really not liking this book in the beginning. By the time Keyes introduces the second two characters I am engulfed in their semi-connected stories and wondering how this will all end.
I would definitely recommend this but with hesitation to those who are not into the British things AND to those who are not into larger volume books!
Rating: 
definitely a good read, but can't read two in a row

This was the first Marian Keyes book I read, and I admit I was put off by the size of it at first. But I really loved this one and I'm a huge fan of hers. Though I'm a huge fan of British chick lit, and I do see your point that if you're not a fan of it or have difficulty with the language barriers it may not be as good.
