Looking for Mr. Right - By: Carrie Sue' Bradshaw, 07 Jul 2008 
I warmed to Lucy straight away, & her weird assortment of friends, I could have done with a little less of Gus though, the most annoying characterin the book I was longing for her to dump him. Her efforts to take care of her alcoholic father were really touching, & you kind of knew the perfect man was right under her nose all along.
Predictable nonsense but just about readable - By: Janie U, 13 Feb 2008 
Expected a quick easy read - although over 700 pagesin a book is never going to be quick......
The whole book has a light & fluffy view of a 20s something's lifein the big city which feels like it has been done too many times.
The book was very predictable but had an interesting dimension added with the main character's depression & her ways of dealing with it.
I have read quite a few Marian Keyes books & she has improved over the years. As her second book this is not a particularly good book - it still has a very naive approach & follows a well used mould. Her later books use similar themes but somehow do itin a more exciting way.
really good - By: M. Burton, 11 Jul 2007 
it started off slow at first but then it picked speed up & became quite good. It was a bit predictable that she got with Daniel but it was nice to see how they got togetherin the end. As for Karen I would have slapped her by now - her character annoyed me so much but it shows that Marian can make her characters come to life
definite recommendation
irritatingly unputdownable - By: Ms. T. Redmond, 19 May 2007 I only started reading again when I became pregnant. Reading Pauline Mc Glynn books (FANTASTIC). So I thought I'd try another Irish author, being Irish myself. I found this book very easy to read, even with a new baby. But being a strong minded, stubborn,don't stand for any crap, Irish woman I found the central character unbelievably annoying. She was pathetic & like many of the other reviewers I too wanted to slap her. But I think thats what kept me reading, see how the other half lives so to speak!! Allin all it provided great escapism & a pleasing end to my frustrations.
I love it - By: I. Bews, 20 Dec 2006 This is the one that started it all. I saw bits of it on TV & wanted more. Eventually found book & read everything i can find by Marion Keyes. I love her books but this one will always be the best for me!
