Lisa Edwards, top London magazine editor, has been fantasizing about promotion to New York. Instead, she's asked to launch a new women's magazine in Dublin. She thinks nothing could be worse - until she meets her new staff. They're friendly, helpful, and enthusiastic - in other words, they wouldn't last two minutes in London!

Story3.5 out of 5 stars 117
Lucy Sullivan is 26 and living it up (and occasionally down) in London. Hers is a life of quiet, undisciplined desperation. But when she and three friends visit a psychic for a bit of fun and the woman's predictions start coming true, Lucy is horrified. For the fortune-teller insisted she'd soon be married - within the year, in fact. Not only does Lucy not have a boyfriend, but the chances of getting one are looking slim. Between the bottles of wine, antidepressants and her addiction to self-help books, she's not quite ready to walk, or even stumble, down the aisle sober.

High heels, movie deals, wagon wheels, shoes, reviews, having the blues, builders, babies, families and other calamities... Many think that Marian leads a glitzy life of limos, television, and showbiz parties - but she would argue that she spends the majority of her life writing alone, wearing her PJs, and eating bananas with a laptop on a pillow in front of her. Under the Duvet is a wide collection of her journalism and stories, all personal, closely observed, and painfully funny...

1995, London. When Sir James Harrison, one the greatest actors of his generation, passes away at the age of 95 he leaves behind not just a heartbroken family but also a secret so shocking, so devastating that it could rock the English establishment to its core. Joanna Haslam is an ambitious young journalist assigned to cover the legendary actor's funeral. The great and the good of the celebrity world are there. But Joanna stumbles on something dark beneath the glamour: the mention of a letter James Harrison has left behind, the contents of which others have been desperate to conceal for over 70 years.

Publisher's Summary
At 29, Claire is full of the joys of life - that is, until her husband leaves her on the day she gives birth to her baby. With a broken heart, a beautiful newly born and an expanding mirror image, she decides to visit her eccentric family in Dublin. There she starts to feel better. So much better, in fact, that James is in for a surprise when he decides to slither back into her life.

I tried, but couldn't last
The characters were interesting but underdeveloped, so was the storyline, it was boring. I could not be bothered finishing it.

Marian Keyes never disappoints

Disappointing
I found it disconcerting that the narrator sounded nothing like what I expected the character to sound like. The story was long winded and towards the end I found myself very frustrated at the main character. I persevered but it didn’t get better in my opinion

I was a little disappointed
I agree with other reviews that this is isn’t the authors best work. I had trouble reconciling the main characters obsession with her love life when she had just given birth; as a mother myself the obsession would be with her beautiful baby. However, it was the narration that I found most off putting. The voices given to the characters, the especially James were a little annoying.

Great escape from life
As ever Marian had one crying or laughing, or even crying with laughter, while you are so easily drawn i to the life of each character, who were all given even more personality by the perfect match of Gerri’s voice of narration.

I love Marian Keyes work. Funny, romantic, sweet, witty and easy to lose yourself into.

Meh...
While I enjoyed the way this book was written as a train of thought, I wanted to throttle the main character by the end.
Overcoming self doubt was a key theme and she made better choices in the outcome, but her excessive meekness throughout was quite painful. Such as being only mildly annoyed while being casually sexually assaulted on a train.
Well read though

Not the best in the series
Watermelon was ok. I always love Keyes books but this one just didn't grab me like the others in the series. I still don't even understand the title! Still worth a listen if you want something easy and familiar
