'Love is blind, there was no doubt about it. In Tara's case it was also deaf, dumb, dyslexic, had a bad hip and the beginnings of Alzheimer's . . .'

Tara, Katherine and Fintan have been best friends since they were teenagers. Now in their early thirties, they've been living it up in London for ten years.

But what have they to show for a decade of hedonism?

Sure, Tara's got a boyfriend - but only because she's terrified of spending five minutes alone. Katherine, on the other hand, has a neatness fetish that won't let anyone too close to mess up her life.

And Fintan? Well, he has everything. Until he learns that without your health, you've got nothing . . .

All three are drinking in the last chance saloon and they're about to discover that if you don't change your life, life has a way of changing you . . .

'A comforting doorstopper of a read that's as addictive as solitaire' Daily Mail

Ratings and reviews

Huge let down I am afraid to say.I am a massive fan of Marian Keyes but this book wasn't even in the same league as her other books. The storyline was familiar but without the humour and likeability of the characters. I didn't like the charachters at all. The reference to homosexuals and Aids was so outdated and offensive that I struggled to liken this to the Marian Keyes I know and admire. Very disapointing.

Brilliant book start to finish warm, witty with characters you cared for. Favourite phrase "bum lick"

A fab book , made me laugh, of course then people looked at me funny wonderin wat I was titterin at :-'
