Negative Positive
Title: gives chick-lit a bad name!
Review: As an Irish woman living in the US I eagerly await new Irish authors and love to read novels set in my home country. This book is utter tripe! The concept is completely unbelievable, the characters are one dimensional; ohmigod a commitment-phobe, routine driven, unlucky in love career-woman heroine? I kept reading and waiting for it to get better, but it never did. Ahearne's first novel PS I Love You was pretty good, however, unlikely it would have been published if Cecilia's daddy wasn't Taoiseach (Prime Minister) of Ireland. It helps to have friends, not to mention relatives in high places, all that free publicity! Save your money and buy Marian Keyes, as the guys in the Guinness ads say, she's brilliant! I give it one star as it's not possible to give none.
