 Shortlisted for the British Book Awards, Popular Fiction Award, 2009.

Lola Daly has just found out that her boyfriend - gorgeous, charming, and powerful politician Paddy de Courcy - is getting married. To someone else. Heartbroken, Lola flees Dublin to a cottage in the countryside. Can a new set of friends help her to get over him?

Journalist Grace Gildee wants the inside story on Paddy de Courcy's engagement. Lola refuses to talk the press but Grace won't give up. She knew Paddy a long time ago and hasn't forgotten him...

Marnie Hunter is Grace's twin sister. With a loving husband and two gorgeous daughters, Marnie seems to have it all. But she's haunted by memories. Memories that began with her first love - Paddy de Courcy. Can Marnie leave the past behind once and for all and move on with her life?

Alicia Thornton is Paddy's wife-to-be. Determined to be the perfect wife, Alicia would do anything for her fiancé. But does she know the real Paddy?

Four women. One man. And a secret that binds them all.

"Yet another corker from the undisputed queen of chick lit." (Company)

Always loved this book, but the short version had me confused. Left out heaps of great funny moments with Lola. Don’t mind that the punctuation is strange as it’s like reading (listening) to a point diary entry. I recommend going with the longer version. I prefer to read it but my book got passed on and on and never came back.

Shortened version!!

enjoyed the book; but this reading is missing bits and skips reasonable chunks, despite trying multiple 'fixes' from help desk. disappointing.

good book; though missing bits.

For some reason they have uploaded this version with completely missing chapters. I only discovered this when talking to my sister who has read it in its entirety
