Light and fluffy, but a perfect read for a cold and wet weekend after a busy couple of weeks. What i was expecting and what I got!

Marian Keyes is the perfect get away material, she does have some moral messages and often a twist or two in the telling and not all her characters are nice (in fact two out of the three in this book are quite unpleasant). I think of her books like a drink or two in an Irish bar, not challenging, but very pleasant way to while away a few hours. Unlike some 'chick lit' it doesn't talk don to you and is not all about the sex. ( )

It was funny and clever and a great story, but there was too much sex in it for me. ( )

Read this while visiting relatives in Canada when I should have been reading homework. This was my first Marian Keyes and I was pleased that I didn't figure out the entire plot right away. Not as good as Jennifer Weiner but better than a lot of the other stuff out there. ( )

Started reading Marian Keyes when I returned from Ireland in the summer of 2004. I bought a book of short stories from Irish writers, and Marian Keyes was one of them. I went to see which writers we had at our library, and I found Marian Keyes had several. I tried to read them in order and ended up liking them -- funny, character development -- that I bought a few that I've read and reread, including this one. The women are easy to relate to and the men are minor Prince Charmings. ( )

Book description
Three women, whose lives are linked, living in one city..

Lisa Edwards is stuck in Dublin, launching Colleen magazine. She should be partying in Prada in London. Is she unhappy about it? She wouldn't tell you even if she was.

Ashley Kennedy is an award-winning worrier. No waist, no boyfriend, far too many handbags. And, deep down, a feeling that something is missing from her life.

Clodagh Kelly should be blissfully happy. Married to her prince, two adorable children, a lovely house. So why, lately, has she had the urge to kiss a frog?

Sushi For Beginners is about searching for happiness. And how, if you let things bubble under the surface for too long, sooner or later they'll boil over..
Haiku summary

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0060555955, Paperback)

Lisa Edwards

This Prada-wearing magazine editor thinks her life is over when her "fabulous" new job turns out to be a deportation to Dublin to launch Colleen magazine. The only saving grace is that her friends aren't there to witness her downward spiral. Might her new boss, the disheveled and moody Jack Devine, save her from a fate worse than hell?

Ashling Kennedy

Ashling, Colleen's assistant editor, is an award-winning worrier, increasingly aware that something fundamental is missing from her life -- apart from a boyfriend and a waistline.

Clodagh "Princess" Kelly

Ashling's best friend, Clodagh, lives the domestic dream in a suburban castle. So why, lately, has she had the recurring urge to kiss a frog -- or sleep with a frog, if truth be told? As these three women search for love, success, and happiness, they will discover that if you let things simmer under the surface for too long, sooner or later they'll boil over.

Discover the Keyes to a Great Read!
