Gaze,The

Ever since legwarmers were cool, best friends Tara, Katherine, and Fintan have survived small-town ennui, big-city heartbreak, and endless giddy nights out on the town. But now that they’ve graduated to their slightly more serious thirties, only Fintan has what can honestly be called a “love life.” With Tara struggling daily with her eternal diet—and her dreadful, penny-pinching boyfriend—and Katherine keeping her single existence as organized as her drawer full of matching bra and panty sets, it seems they’ll never locate the exit door out of the “last chance saloon.” But it’s always when you are least ready for change that fate insists on one. And when catastrophe inevitably follows crisis, the lives of three best friends are sure to change in unexpected ways … and not necessarily for the worse. You devoured the hilarious antics of Claire in Watermelon. You laughed ’til you cried in Lucy Sullivan Is Getting Married. You took a vacation gone mad in Rachel’s Holiday. You flew away with Margaret—good girl gone bad—in Angels. You got a peek inside the cutthroat world of women’s fashion magazines in Sushi for Beginners. Author:Marian Keyes ISBN:9780241958452

But that is about to change . . . ‘I’d always lived a fairly blameless life . . . up until the day I left my husband and ran away to Hollywood . . .’ Unlike the rest of her family, Maggie Walsh has always done everything right. At thirty-three she has a proper job, is happily married to Garv and never puts a foot wrong. So why does she make a bolt for Hollywood and her best friend, Emily? In the City of Angels, Maggie gets to do things shes’s never done before: mixing with filmstars, pitching scripts, partying non-stop. But is this really a once-in-a-lifetime journey of self-discovery, or is she simply running away from married life? ‘Funny, compassionate, well-observed and irreverent’ Time Out Author: Marian Keyes ISBN:9780241958421
