This is actually a 3.5 rating. It is a compelling book in many ways and Marion Keyes' darkest to date, even considering that 
  
deal with loss and the grief that follows. Domestic violence is a difficult subject to deal with and Keyes deals with effectively. HOWEVER, the style she uses in one of the sections (Lola's story), is distracting and takes away considerably from the emotional impact of her experience. I was absolutely fascinated with the cross dressing side story and Marnie's struggles. I loved the book but it will never be one of my favourite Keyes novels.

The story of four very different women, one awfully charming man, and the dark secret that binds them all.

I did it! I finally finished this book! After reading this for over 6 months I am very proud that I picked it back up and finished this story. I must admit, at first it was tough to get through. The build-up was slow at times, and I found myself straying to other books that got to the point right away. Right around page 300 it finally kicked in for me and I found myself engrossed. By page 500 I was glad that I had stuck with it and couldn't put it down. Moving, caring and sad yet happy as only Marian Keyes can do.

Relish the wit and wisdom of Marian Keyes in this story of four women caught up in what seems like love, but may be something much darker . . . from the No. 1 bestselling author of Grown Ups 'So funny, so perceptive, so real . . . I changed my life for this book' MAIL ON SUNDAY ___________ 'Everybody remembers where they were the day they heard that Paddy de Courcy was getting married' Slick, handsome politician Paddy de Courcy is on the up. His party is set to do well in the elections and he's just announced his engagement to the beautiful Alicia. Which is news to his girlfriend, Lola, who, within hours, finds herself dumped and warned not to talk to the press. Yet journalist Grace is on the prowl. She has been after Paddy ever since he ruined her sister Marnie's life way back in college. Grace is looking for the inside story and thinks Lola holds the key . . . But do any of them know the real Paddy? ___________ 'The laughs come fast and furious . . . a gripping, compelling tale' Sunday Independent 'The queen of page-turners . . . brimming with her trademark down-to-earth wit' Cosmopolitan 'Gripping from the start . . . the master at her best' Daily Telegraph
