Maybe because I have two sisters and we are all different as can be. I loved this story. I loved that Maggie was able to explore, live life and learn so much in a relatively short period of time. I loved that she came through it, scathed, but a bit smarter and with more experience under her belt. The one thing I love in any book! Fantastic. One to another Marian Keyes book. (  ) traciragas | Nov 9, 2009 |  Maggie Walsh leaves her husband and head off to L.A. to really live life for a while. Another good read from Marian Keyes, not quite as dark as the last Walsh sister book I read. There's definitely more to the story than I thought there would be, but that's the joy of reading a book by Keyes. There's tonnes of funny bits, a few sad bits, and a bunch of bits that make you say "EXACTLY!" (  ) janeycanuck | Aug 3, 2009 | There's chick lit, and then there's gooood chick lit. Fortunately this falls into the latter and makes a great holiday/plane read. The Walshes must be one the most comical families written about and Angels continues the cringe worthy moments of the family. The plot is nothing new (Maggie leaves her husband to find herself, cue dreamy ex-boyfriend and wacky fish out of water scenes) but it doesn't feel naff. Just plain vanilla yoghurt fun. (  ) birdsam0307 | Jul 30, 2009 | As always, I am compelled to read all things Marian Keyes, particularly if it's about the Walshes. This one was about the "lickarse" Maggie. These books always engage me but I find that the characters are always drawn a bit vaguely, I never feel like I got to know them enough. I do like reading her books because the dialogue can be so funny, especially in Irish idiom. urduha | Jul 8, 2009 | Description: After catching her husband having an affair and being fired from her job, Maggie Walsh suddenly finds her perfectly organized existence has become a perfect mess. She decides, for the first time in her life, to do something daring -- and flees to her best friend, Emily, in the faraway wonderland of Los Angeles. In this mecca of tanned, beautiful bodies, unsvelte, uncool Maggie is decidedly a fish out of water. Yet, overnight, she's mixing with film folk, pitching scripts, even experimenting with sex -- and discovering that the end of a marriage is not the end of the world. My thoughts: I don't know why this book has so many pages, the story could have been written much shorter. I must say that I often found myself bored while reading, that is not my definition of chic lit. (  ) Ladybug83 | May 15, 2009 |  no reviews | add a review
