The first-person narration is pretty much identical, style-wise, to the narration from the earlier two books about the Walsh sisters Claire and Rachel, even though these are supposed to be three different characters. The Walsh family also makes a pretty substantial appearance, and it’s always a joy getting to know them better. We get to hear Margaret's side of the story, which is great after seeing her sidelined as the 'boring' one in all the other books. Unlike many chick-lit type books that portray the heroine’s ex as wholly unlikable, Garv comes across as a sweet, real man who has simply made some mistakes in his life.

She became known worldwide for Watermelon, Lucy Sullivan is Getting Married, and This Charming Man, with themes including domestic violence and alcoholism. There, with the help of sunshine and long days at the beach, she will lick her wounds and decide where life will take her next. In addition to her fifteen previous novels, Marian has also written two collections of journalism, upon which hit BBC Radio 4 show Between Ourselves was based. The multimillion copy, internationally bestselling author of some of the most widely loved, genre-defying novels of the past thirty years – including Rachel’s Holiday, Anybody Out There and Grown Ups – has millions of devoted readers around the world.Y también es el momento en que suelto la última novela de Marian Keyes después de doce horas de lectura compulsiva, como sabía que sucedería (siempre lo hace) y por lo que no vacilo nunca al sacarla de la estantería. At first glance her novels appear to be "chick-lit" but once you start reading them, you realize there is a thoughtful depth to them. Underneath the breezy writing style though are some thoughtful analyses of the cut-throat movie industry and the bizarre, and sometimes desperate lengths to which hopeful actors and production people will go to fit in, be noticed and get ahead.

Labelled in the family as the goody-goody, "plain yoghurt at room temperature", she is on the run from a broken marriage. So when, out of the blue, everything just disintegrated like wet paper, I couldn't shake a wormy suspicion that this was long overdue.

Well, you'd need to leave the flashback chapters in, the ones that describe Maggie's life before the beginning of chapter 1. The comic quotient of Angels is even higher than that of her previous bestsellers, and extends her breadth of characterisation to a wide range of convincing and entertaining Americans. That's how the sisters describe Maggie the protagonist, and it describes how I felt about the book and the characters.

She thinks it will be good to get away for awhile, although she has some ulterior motivation involving an old boyfriend who frequents the Hollywood scene. After the liveliness of the previous two books in the series it was boring and frankly I was relieved when I reached the page with the caption "epilogue". They are on the verge of breaking up as they have barely spoken to each other for months and seem to have some underlying problems that we don’t know about until later on in the book.Découvrez la suite de la saga des soeurs Walsch en suivant les aventures de Maggie, pour qui la vie bien rangée de femme mariée va basculer. She then travels out to LA to see a friend of hers and stay there for a month to get her head together. Esta entrega pierde la chispa, no tiene ese humor, quizás ácido de los otros dos y lo peor es que este cae en la banalidad, en su tono más extremo, pasas las páginas y la historia no avanza, cae en un montón de detalles que no aportan y a mi me terminó aburriendo.

Reviewing Marian Keyes you have to resist the temptation to quote her funny bits, which come three or four to a page - a husband's "off-duty hair", a parody of slasher novels with "psychos who think in italics", computer nerds from "Goatees Anonymous", Californians with a dim sense of place and hearing who think "Ireland" is "Iowa". I usually love Marian Keyes' books, but found this one very slow going and easy to lose interest in. I probably won't go back to this one as often as I do 'Rachel's Holiday' or 'This Charming Man,' but it was absolutely worth reading. But ever since that business with the rabbits, and possibly even before that, things with Garv had been uncomfortable and weird.The main reason I hated it was for the meaning behind it(that i got at least) It implied that for women to succeed and be successful in life they MUST get married. Rachel’s Holiday focused on drug-addicted sister Rachel, Watermelon was the story of Claire and how her husband left her the day she gave birth to their first child, and now Angels is a book about the “white sheep” of the Walsh family, Maggie. They end up making love, and right afterwards both of them realize that they're not suited for each other, Maggie realizing she's straight after all just like she thought before meeting Laura, and Laura deciding that Maggie was just a rebound thing and not really Laura's type.
