Hilarious. Marian Keyes is a funny funny person and writer and I love reading her stories, real or not. What a gem of an author.

This is an hysterical set of essays by Marian Keyes. I picked it up quickly at the library before a trip, and I actually laughed out loud a little on the plane. very witty.

In this book Keyes takes you through a journey of stories ranging from personal experiences to life lessons. She focuses specifically on herself and her family. Using a wide range of approaches to the "common woman", Keyes reflects on her own life while trying to relate. She shares her successful journey into adulthood as a comedic outlet to share her opinions on growing up. This classic series of short tales share the definition of "femininity" in today's world and what it means to handle yourself as a woman.

All together I think this was a clever book that left me wanting more!

Smart and funny essays/short stories. I prefer full novels but it was something different than my usual reading.

After I finished Under the Duvet, I was eager for more Keyes. This was similarly fun. I enjoyed the opportunity to read some of her earliest short stories and to hear the back story about them.

A collection of humorous essays and frothy short stories … the initial offering, “Cheaper Than Drugs,” is an hilarious send-up of jet lag … basically light-weight, but amusing …

I’m not usually into these types of books but I’ve enjoyed all of Marian Keyes fiction novels so thought I’d give it a go. There’s a story for everyone and I enjoyed learning more about her ‘darker side.’
