Who will have the nervous breakdown? Will it be Clodagh who awaits her beautiful husband's homecoming, or Lisa, hard and brittle and recently demoted? Or perhaps it will be Ashling who is so normal that she is actually weird.

I had high hopes for this book. I listened to it because I knew it would have wonderful English accents. It is a story about friendship; it is a story about growing up and into your 30's. The realization of knowing that you are changing and realizing it's time to accept the reigns of adulthood, real jobs, and solid relationships. I had a very hard time figuring out who was who. The story bounces around a lot and the women overlap in the book so I think at times I couldn't remember if this was the woman with children, the woman newly moved to the area or just background characters. I am being generous by giving this book 3 stars. ( )

I couldn't finish it. Sadly. I found it boring and the characters undeveloped. Complete rubbish. ( )

I figure that if by page 289 I'm still waiting to get interested, I might as well skip the rest. ( )

Finished the book and I thought it was a fun read.
I am sure planning to read more by Marian Keyes.
It is light reading and really a book out of this time.
Thanks ( )

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..
