Summary

Lola has every reason to be interested in who Paddy de Courcy is marrying - because although she's his girlfriend, she definitely isn't the bride. Heartbroken, she flees the city for a cottage by the sea. But will her retreat prove as idyllic as she hopes?

Not if journalist Grace has anything to do with it. Grace knew Paddy a long time ago. But why can't she forget him? Grace's sister, Marnie, might have the answer but she also has issues with the past. Her family is wonderful but they can't take away memories of her first love: a certain Paddy de Courcy. What will it take for Marnie to be able to move on?

And what of the future Mrs de Courcy? Alicia is determined to be the perfect politician's wife. But does she know the real Paddy de Courcy?

Four very different women. One awfully charming man. And the dark secret that binds them all....

Don't want to give this feedback

I love Marian Keyes, I identify with her on a personal level and also enjoy her other books. However I found this one different. There was a long fluted build up with lots of detail. When it got to the point it was a subtle exposè. Then the conclusion was over in one chapter.

Not usually a chick lit lover

Found this book held my attention after a few chapters. Great narration and felt like I really got to know all the characters. I'd definitely give it a go!

Hilarious!

Great story, very funny as usual from Marian Keyes and excellent narrator! It's very important to have an Irish person narrate her books!!!

WOW - EXCELLENT

Agree slow start, but once it gets going its brilliant. We've all met these characters, and it's wonderful for them to be laid bare in this audiobook. Would recommend.
