Rate this book
'Everybody remembers where they were the day they heard that Paddy de Courcy was getting married'.

But for four women in particular, the big news about the charismatic politician is especially momentous...
Stylist Lola has every reason to be interested in who Paddy's marrying - because she's his girlfriend, yet she definitely isn't the bride-to-be ... Journalist Grace wants the inside story on the de Courcy engagement and thinks Lola holds the key ... while Grace's sister, Marnie, still can't forget her first love: a certain Paddy de Courcy. And what of the soon-to-be Mrs de Courcy? Alicia will do anything for her fiancé and is determined to be the perfect wife. But does she know the real Paddy?

Four very different women.

One awfully charming man.

And the dark secret that binds them all...

Good looks, charming, elke vrouw verliefd, maar ja, niets is wat het lijkt.

Tja wat verwacht je...? Nou, dat krijg je. Een aantal vrouwen blijkt verbonden te zijn door relatie met die Charming man uit de titel. Die dus een psychopaat is. Een van de gekwetste vrouwen trekt zich terug op het Ierse platteland dat, zoals dat in dit soort boeken gaat, bevolkt is met leuke quirky types en hier en daar een hunk die uiteraard, na wat misverstanden, plat gaat voor deze vrouw. Ik zal de twist met deze man niet helemaal verraden, maar het is een voordeel dat ze mode styliste is.
Enfin:1 euro in de kringloopwinkel, het was elke cent waard voor die 700 blz.

Geen literatuur, maar wel leuk om te lezen. Een tikje vulgair, maar niet storend! Een leuk tussendoortje.
