 LOVE IT, WANT MORE! September 22, 2008
BUY THIS BOOK! Just finished this book, am very sad. did not want it to end. she must do a sequel and not take so long. excellant job of bringing all those characters together. usually hate jumping from story to story, but aside from her abilty to make you love her characters, she brought in the suspense with the evil man. i say this is her best book yet. and i have loved them all. her editors need to let her write longer books, this is the longest yet (i beilieve) but really want to know more about Dee Rossini, and how do you live with a cross dresser? struggling with that bit. plus would have liked to see the "charming man" get a little more of what he gave out.
 The first chapter....what was she thinking? September 20, 2008

The first chapter of this book was incredibly annoying...since when did pronouns and indefinite articles disappear from speech. I suffered through this chapter in the hopes that the second chapter would improve, but it's not happening yet.
If I manage to finish this book, maybe I'll change my mind about this review.
 great but a bit raw in more than one way September 17, 2008

I really liked this book. Can't say it was perfect, but pretty good. It was so hard to put down and really what more can be said than that. It really got me inside the heads of four semi-different women and what kept them in their relationships with this one charmingly-wretched man. And, it was a roller-coaster of funny, exciting, sexy (yes, even with the abuse attached), scary, heart-breaking emotions.
Yes, there are some annoying things about the short hand retelling from Lola, but I still loved her part of the story. I just felt it left me hanging with Alicia "Leechy" too much.
This book kept me awake thinking of these fictional-? characters after I'd already put the book down. Not always light-hearted, but not depressive either.
A little chic-lit like, but with much more substance.
Not as good as others, but still great read.... September 16, 2008

after reading many reviews here felt must put own point of vue. TCM great addition to Keyes' oeuvre but, yes, admit that Paddy de C character mostly unconvincing, confrontation scene embarrassing and insufficent for anguish suffered by 4, also whole book too long. BUT, LOVED Lola text-speak, inspite of Bridget Jones' derivation, v. funny!! Look forward to next work.
 One of the worst September 15, 2008

Like others, one of Marian fans, I can't say how disappointed I am with this book, as if it's not really written by her. I can cope with one horrible character in a novel, but the whole lot, those women, I just can't feel any empathy, they simply get on my nerves, far too many unbearable characters for me to read on, and the awful writing style of Lola. I did not finish the book afterall.
I gave it a two stars simply for the thickness of this book.
