The only reason I was so excited to get through this book was so I could read another. I didn’t really care about how this one ended 

I was so frustrated that it took her 500 pages to figure out the simplest of “plot twists” 

But the ending was good and it was a nice story. LONG THO

As usual, Marian Keyes didn't let me down. I always wondered how she was going to deal with Helen's story and she didn't disappoint. Her depiction of Helen's depression was spot on (IMHO) and frankly frightening. 

Highly recommended.
