  <default_description>&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Roxanne: glamorous, self-confident, with a secret lover -- a married man&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Maggie: capable and high-achieving, until she finds the one thing she can't cope with -- motherhood&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Candice: honest, decent, or so she believes -- until a ghost from her past turns up&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;At the first of every month, when the office has reached its pinnacle of hysteria, Maggie, Roxanne, and Candice meet at London's swankiest bar for an evening of cocktails and gossip. Here, they chat about what's new at &lt;i&gt;The Londoner&lt;/i&gt;, the glossy fashion magazine where they all work, and everything else that's going on in their lives. Or &lt;i&gt;almost &lt;/i&gt;everything. Beneath the girl talk and the laughter, each of the three has a secret. And when a chance encounter at the cocktail bar sets in motion an extraordinary chain of events, each one will find their biggest secret revealed.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In &lt;i&gt;Cocktails for Three&lt;/i&gt;, Madeleine Wickham combines her trademark humor with remarkable insight to create an edgy, romantic tale of secrets, strangers, and a splash of scandal.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</default_description>

Cocktails for Three is my second Madeleine Wickham book, and nearly as delightful as Kinsella's others.

    <body><![CDATA[This was my first time reading Madeleine Wickham.  She also writes as Sophie Kinsella (Shopaholic series).  Cocktails for Three is very British, takes place in London and captures the sophisticated English working woman of the late 1990's (copyright is 2000).  The book is about three friends who mee...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/65927679">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Generally I like Wickham/Kinsella's books, because they are chick lit by someone who clearly has read other books, and I appreciate that. But this book was completely unlikeable, both in the story and in the characters. Alcoholic pregnant women are tacky and should not succeed in life.

    <body><![CDATA[This book was one of those, &quot;well there's nothing on my bookshelf that I haven't read and it'll be a quick read. . .&quot; It's pretty predictable and a little slow at first.  The book takes place in London and is about 3 women who work at a magazine all in different places in their lives.  It'...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/55008180">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[It was okay; Madeleine Wickham is the real name of Sophie Kinsella, who I love.  This book was a little deeper than the Kinsella books and I don't like them as much.  I mean, I was going for fluff here, and I got an affair and post partum depression.  If you are looking for fun, I would recommend th...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/51653996">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I had nothing inherently against this book, it's well-written, and the characters are well-developed. The reason I gave it three stars is the simple fact that I have a strong suspicion that I had read it once before, and it just didn't make enough of an impression on me that I was more than 3/4 done...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/32903906">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I think this book could have been better.  I think you can definitely distinguish between Kinsella/Wickham's &quot;early&quot; years and what she writes now.  The stories aren't as good and the characters aren't as developed.  Plus, this book dealt with the stories of three different characters and ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/66358703">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[OK, this is not a &quot;thinking&quot; type of book.  That said, I enjoyed reading this lighthearted look at female relationships. The drama and the fun were true-to-life. I have read several of Madeleine Wickham's books and look forward to more.  These are the type of books to read just before bed ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/48041908">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I am always disappointed when Sophie Kinsella writes as Madeleine Wickham, yet for some indescribable reason, I keep going back for more. I enjoy the the fluffiness of the Shopaholic series so much that I keep hoping for some of that spark to manifest in a Wickham book and it always threatens to, bu...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/71990848">more...</a>]]></body>
