  <default_description>After catching her husband having an affair and being fired from her job, Maggie Walsh suddenly finds her perfectly organized existence has become a perfect mess. She decides, for the first time in her life, to do something daring -- and flees to her best friend, Emily, in the faraway wonderland of Los Angeles. In this mecca of tanned, beautiful bodies, unsvelte, uncool Maggie is decidedly a fish out of water. Yet, overnight, she's mixing with film folk, pitching scripts, even experimenting with sex -- and discovering that the end of a marriage is not the end of the world.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[This was the first Marian Keyes book that I read.  I was hooked from the get-go.  Her characters are colorful and real.  I can hear myself having some of the conversations and doing some of the same things especially when I was in my early 20's.<br/><br/>Supreme Chick Lit.<br/>Great beach read.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Worst book I ever finished...<br/><br/>I have probably had worse books in my hands, but usually if it is this bad I either skim to the end or just plain put it down. From some reason, I felt compelled to finish this one...maybe to see if there was a story to it. I could have saved myself 2 weeks of ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/60056286">more...</a>]]></body>

She decides she needs to get away and takes off for a month to live in LA with her best friend, who is a screen writer there. The book is great, there's lots of fun light stuff, poking fun at LA-life, balanced by the dark backstory of Ma...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/38683968">more...</a>]]></body>
