It was good.
It was chick-lit set in Ireland which was refreshing to your usual American setting.
It also has Catholic values and confronted issues of abortion surprisingly well.
I really loved the way it was written in the third person so that it could follow more than one persons, actions, thoughts and feelings simultaneously, I really like that writing style and I wouldn't mind experimenting with this style for myself.
The plot, however was slow moving and not all that riveting or original.

I love this book, even though I lost a few hours of sleep in order to finish it. I love books in this genre that has several people's stories rolled into one big story, where it all makes sense in the end. This book has this quality.

This is a good "summer" book. Mostly just fluff, but entertaining. The main character has the irritating habit of not communicating important information with people, and generally not wanting to talk about important topics with people close to her. But if you are looking for basic chick lit, this isn't bad. Note for sensitive readers: there's a little graphic foreplay a few times, and there is some bad language here and there.

i read this book because it is one of the mnay in my collection i need to get through. i personally thought it was enjoyable in some places and slow in others. i appreciate this book for the way it is written, as i do all books but it wasn't anything memorable

This was a cute book. A typical chick lit that made me smile with a warm feeling in my tummy as I turned the last page.
