I read the entire novella on the train this morning. It lacks the complexity and richness of her usual work, and there is little subtlety in the message. I understand from other reviews that this is meant to be a simple, easy story, and it certainly met the goal. I have been spoiled by Keyes other works, though. Her voice has been captured, but there's not enough story for my tastes.
Another one for the books for Marian Keyes. The story is familiar but it is not a cliché. I really admire the storyline and how it was framed to tie the loose ends in a short story. I certainly observed the female friendships in her stories outweighs the romance. In my age, I sometimes feel like that. There is a timelessness to friendships that are different from romantic relationships. It might be the intensity. I liked how she frequently incorporate it in her books.
