  <default_description>&lt;p&gt;What happens when a psychic tells Lucy that she'll be getting married within the year? Her roommates panic! What is going to happen to their blissful existence of eating take-out, drinking too much wine, bringing men home, and never vacuuming?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Lucy reassures her friends that she's far too busy arguing with her mother and taking care of her irresponsible father to get married. And then there's the small matter of not even having a boyfriend.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;But then Lucy meets gorgeous, unreliable Gus. Could he be the future Mr. Lucy Sullivan? Or could it be handsome Chuck? Or Daniel, the world's biggest flirt? Or even cute Jed, the new guy at work?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Maybe her friends have something to worry about after all....&lt;/p&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[So far this is my least favorite Marian Keyes novel.  I've even stopped partway through to read <em>Rachel's Holiday</em> and <em> Conversations with the Fat Girl</em> and felt somewhat reluctant to continue reading it.  I finally did finish it though, just to see if it at some point would have a redeeming quality.  ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/24797859">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I feel so decieved!  I picked this book up expecting a funny, light read about a girl looking for love.  What I got instead was quite a serious book about a girl suffering from chronic depression and low self-esteem due to her father's alcoholism.  There is a romance that takes place, so that handil...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/58605626">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I really enjoy Marian Keyes' different style of writing. She is quick witted, humorous and yet at the same time she is deep and complex. She has a way of keeping things engaging. I was entranced in the first two chapters. This book has both good and bad reviews but I have to say you need to accept i...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/55787878">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I wish I could give this book two stars instead of one because I did in fact like the one male character, Daniel. The leading lady is spineless and a naive idiot.  I was incredibly disappointed by the characters in the book - I skipped over large amounts because it was just so awful.

    <body><![CDATA[I think it's obvious while reading this novel that it was one of Marian Keyes' first.  It is a cute book, very funny at times, but the writing style can be irritating all the way through.  I am a big Marian Keyes fan, but definitely prefer her later books, which have characters that are easy to iden...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/62756184">more...</a>]]></body>
